Won’t it harm my child to receive so many vaccines at one time?
No, both the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend simultaneous administration of all routine childhood vaccines when appropriate. There are two very good reasons: 1) To protect the child from diseases as early as possible and 2) For fewer visits and less upset for parent and child.
