Leia will have to be admitted this Thursday

Leia couldn't get her MMR (Measles, mumps and Rubella) vaccination as per schedule - yesterday morning. It was because she has had egg allergy experience about 2 weeks ago. She developed rashes around her mouth area after taken a 1/8 egg. Thankfully, it wasn't severe and it went off about 15 mintes later.

As the MMR vaccine is made using a protein related to egg, the doctor is concerned that she may have allergy reaction towards the vaccination. Though most allergy cases reported are on the mild side, the doctor is serious enough not to take any risk. Therefore, Leia was recommended to be admitted to General Hospital this Thursday. She will be given the vaccination there and will be observed for a day.

According to the doctor, the more severe side effects to the vaccination are difficulty in breathing, swell on the eyes and mouth and whole body rashes.

Have been reading quite a bit on this vaccination and its side effects. Besides above 2 links, attached here is another article. Now that I'm more informed, I hope I'll be more prepared to face whatever situations arised this Thursday... Please pray for her.
