Symptom narrative

Redness and swelling at injection site which travelled past the elbow by the 3rd day. Then on day 3 fever of 100 which went to 102. Fever lasted 4 days (starting 3 days after the infection). Then three pox marks appeared on the ear. He was tested for flu etc and that was negative. At 36 weeks pregnant this was also very distressing for me as they said I might need to be separated from him. Please tell people this risk if they are pregnant at time of the vaccination and this close to delivery date. If I did not have immunity this would be a terrible risk to my baby.
