The Next Day: Unless there is a live attenuated vaccine involved, they can be given very close together. Custom has generally seperated them by 1 month ( for no reason).

Vaccinations: They can be given together at the same time. Traditions are changing on this, so there may be different opinions, but they can safely be given together in most patients.
