Doing a quick Google search shows that the incubation period for measles is 10-12 days and the incubation period for chickenpox is 14-16 days, so I don't see any way that either your daughter's or your illness could be measles or chickenpox.

Your figures are only applicable to catching the disease normally.
They have no relevance to the action of a vaccine.
Mild Problems
* Soreness or swelling where the shot was given (about 1 out of 5 children and up to 1 out of 3 adolescents and adults)
* Fever (1 person out of 10, or less)
* Mild rash, up to a month after vaccination (1 person out of 25). It is possible for these people to infect other members of their household, but this is extremely rare.

My kids always get cold/flu like symptoms a few days after getting their shots. It's totally normal. Really though, you should be getting medical advice from a doctor. Not an online open forum.
