Vaccines can be administered on the same day to different areas of the body.
Injectable vaccines can be injected into the arms (shoulders), legs (thighs) and subscapular muscles. Thus, up to 6 vaccines can be administered (even more with oral vaccines). For children under 2 years of age, intramuscular vaccines are administered in the legs, and subcutaneous ones are administered in the shoulder or leg.
Instructions for the BCG tuberculosis vaccine may contain outdated recommendations on administration on a separate day, and even maintain an interval of 1 month with most other vaccines. In this case, this recommendation must be implemented for legal reasons. Although from a medical point of view, the usual recommendations should be applied to BCG as a live injectable vaccine.
Live injectable vaccines – either in a month or on the same day
Different live injectable vaccines can be administered either at intervals of at least 4 weeks, or together on the same day.
