A member asked:
I'm 30 years old & just found out i'm only partially vaccinated against mmr & tetanus (need one more jab of each). can i get both jabs at the same time? and will it temporarily lower my immune system as a whole? (e.g. more likely to get flu)

Yes/no: Your immune system faces hundreds of challenges each day with the germs you inhale or casually put in your mouth on food items or from contaminated fingers. The vaccines themselves are simply another selective challenge to your system & you should be fine. Whether or not you get the flu would be unrelated to taking either.
