Travel Vaccine Coadministration

With some exceptions (PCV13, PPSV23, PCV13, MenACWY-D [Menactra], and Menactra and DTaP), commonly used vaccines can safely and effectively be given simultaneously, says the CDC. However, limited data suggest that the coadministration of the yellow fever vaccine with MMR vaccines might decrease the immune response and should be separated by thirty days.
