Hi...Usually measles vaccine is given 9th to 10th month. if there are any cases of measles reported in your locality - it can be taken earlier at 7th month too. other wise it can be taken at the end of 9th month. Her due was on 25-08-2011 as you mention her date of birth as 25-11-2010.
Fever might occur from 5-6 days after measles vaccine.
