Together: The human immune system is challenged & handles dozens of germs every day far in excess of all the immunizations given. I would prefer to give the catch up & current vaccines together when possible because I consider separating them unnecessary. The kid will will recover quickly with a single session & not face the trauma of a second.

Vaccination: They may be given together or divided into a schedule of visits with your PCP. Definitely discuss the options and catch up schedule, and determine the next best step. There are combination vaccines available to lessen the number of injections.
