A member asked:
My child is behind on several vaccines. is it ok for him to get 6 at once to catch up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The number of vaccines given together do not increase the adverse effects and, in some situations, vaccines may complement each other, giving better immunity. Overall, the amount of immune material in the vaccines is less than your child is exposed to in day at school! it is best to get the vaccines on time, but when necessary, several can be given at once to catch up.
