Chicken pox vaccine and rash/bumps

Soap1

DS got the chicken pox vaccine at his 1 year appointment (almost a month ago) and now has four raised, red bumps on his arm.  I really don't think they are bug bites but I'm not certain.

I know that catching a very mild form of chicken pox is a rare but possible side effect of the vaccine.  I called the nurse line and she didn't seem concerned.  Anyone else have a similar reaction?

DD got little "faux" pox, as the doctor called them after her vaccine.  There were maybe 8 total on her neck, arms, and stomach.  It was closer to the shot, though, maybe 2 weeks.  I can't remember exactly.  They went away on their own and didn't see to cause her any distress.

My LO also broke out in small "pox" at the injection site.  It actually took about 2 weeks for them to go away.

Thanks.  He's running a low fever now; I think it might just be "faux" pox like you said!
