9 months vaccination doesn’t cause any of this. May be due to asymptomatic viral illness. Need evaluation by orthopaedic or neurology specialist.

Next Steps

Furthermore need physiotherapist treatment

How did you calculate that the leg is 20%weak? If Ur child can walk, run, climb etc then everything is fine. To be sure get legs examined by a Pediatrician or orthopaedic. MMR vaccine doesn't cause any reaction at injection site and no definitely no weakness
