Is it OK for my baby or child to have several vaccines at the same time?

Research shows that it is safe for babies to have more than one vaccination at the same time. This will mean that they are protected from some serious infections.   

Babies are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases. This makes it even more important that they receive all their routine vaccines at the recommended time. 

From birth onwards, a baby comes into contact with millions of germs every day. Babies' immune systems are working all the time to protect them against germs (bacteria and viruses) in the environment. Vaccines are much less of a challenge to the immune system than all the germs babies come into contact with every day.
