Is it possible to have MMR shot symptoms 5 weeks later?

So I was going to respond to Xelindrya that DS had the MMR in the middle of July and never got a fever. As I was going back to add and he also never got a rash...but I realized that when we went on vacation in the middle of August, DS broke out in a rash all over his body in the bahamas!! We thought maybe it was the sunscreen (even though it was the one we always used) or maybe a heat rash. Now I am wondering if it was a reaction to the MMR. I am calling his ped now but was wondering if anyones elses DC also had a reaction to the MMR vaccine 5 weeks after giving it?

My ped said 1-2 weeks...However, it could have been roseola. Sounds just like what my dcs had this spring!

i would doubt it since docs say the reaction would be like 7-10 days after. that's 35 days. it's probably something unrelated like the sunscreen.

hope he's feeling better!

I highly, highly doubt it.

thanks guys...I spoke to the nurse at my peds office and she said, yes, it could possibly be a reaction but its nothing to worry about (since I am pregnant) as long as I dont get a rash or anything.
