These two graphics are published on a CDC website illustrating where to inject multiple vaccines to a baby at one visit.
A screen shot from Merck shows conflicting information:
The conflicts:
Point one says don’t use with other live virus vaccines, but give MMR one month before or after live viral vaccines. Varicella is a live virus vaccine. Point two contradicts point one: “MMR II has been administered concurrently with VARIVAX”… using separate injection sites and syringes – but no mention is made of safety tracking. Point four says the ACIP declares that simultaneous administration causes “no interference”. No mention is made of any study of the safety of giving all these vaccines at one time.
I did find an encouraging document linked on the same CDC link that addresses procedures to follow if there is a vaccine adverse reaction.
“These reactions can vary from trivial and inconvenient (e.g., soreness, itching) to severe and life threatening (e.g., anaphylaxis). Vaccine providers should be familiar with identifying immediate-type allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and competent in treating these events at the time of vaccine administration. Providers should also have a plan in place to contact emergency medical services immediately in the event of a severe acute vaccine reaction.“
Parents, please research vaccines more than you research any other item or decision you make for your baby. All vaccine manufacturers have been given a liability free product. When their vaccine is added to CDC’s ACIP recommended shots for all babies and children, there is a LOT of money involved. If your baby/child experiences any vaccine reaction or death, you will bear the responsibility on your own. There is a cumbersome process to receive compensation through VICP which has paid $4 billion since 1988 to those injured or killed by vaccines. This represents a small fraction of the true harm vaccines have caused.
At the very least ask your vaccine provider if they have an emergency plan in place in the event of severe acute vaccine reaction. If they don’t have one, chances are, they lack information on administering vaccines and recognizing adverse reactions. If you do decide to give vaccines, please read this piece which has many helpful tips for reducing any potential reaction.
