MMR could have prevented
Encephalitis is the most fatal/serious complication but it is rare.

1. Rubella would be my guess because of the vaccine clue, but the picture looks like scarlet fever too.
2. MMR
3. there are teratogenic effects if a fetus contracts rubella.

2. MMR vaccine would have prevented this
3. Of concern is that this child’s respiratory secretions can transmit the rubella virus and if a pregnant women in her 1st trimester comes in contact with this child she may put her fetus at risk of congenital rubella syndrome; cataracts, CNS defects like MR and deafness, hepatitis and heart disease.

2. MMR
3. mild, self limiting usually if postnatal, usually arthralgias

most feared is infection of mother to
fetus in first trimester leading to congenital rubella syndrome causing spontaneous abortion 20%,
if the baby survives most common cardiac manifestation is PDA, multiple organ system failure

The most serious complication of this condition is not a concern for this patient because he is both too young and too male to be pregnant. The complication is congenital rubella syndrome. Also, it helps to confirm the diagnosis when the first picture to show up in google images when rubella is seached is the exact picture in question :)
