Fever and rash after MMR shot

Emilia had a moderate to high fever last 4 days. It started 6 days after her 12 month immunization. Her doctor had told me about 10-15% of babies experience a fever or rashes after the MMR shot but I didn't expect to see  39.5degrees on the thermometer. Emilia was  feeling really miserable (and irritable). She didn't sleep well either and that made all three of us sleep deprived over the weekend. Fortunately this morning the fever is gone and she is happily babbling "mamamama bambamba." but now she has developed rashes on her face and body!! So much for a vaccine...

    My son has same rash as Emilia after MMR jab.
    He is still having it about a week now. no fever, eats well only rash.
    My doctor said it is normal reaction but I am getting worried.
