Is it safe for my child to get more than one vaccine at the same time?

Question: 

Is it safe for my child to get more than one vaccine at the same time?

Answer: 
Getting multiple vaccines at the same visit is safe and ensures your child is protected as quickly as possible during their early years of life when they are most at risk. Getting several vaccines at the same time also means fewer appointments and periods of pain and discomfort for your child, which may reduce your child’s risk of developing needle fears. 
 
Research shows that routine childhood vaccines work just as well when they are given at the same visit as when they are given at separate visits.
