Q. Can Typhoid, Chicken Pox, Hepatitis A vaccines be given along with DPT, though in different sites? If YES, then is there any shortcoming to it, however minor it may be?

Expert Opinion:
Yes, they can be given on the same day at different sites. However, that would mean 4 pricks, one in each limb. This is very difficult to give and also manage. Besides, the child may get a fever due to DPT, a rash due to the chickenpox vaccine and may be more uncomfortable with so many vaccines given together.
