It is current practice in pediatric vaccination to co-administer different vaccines during the same session with injectable vaccines being administered at separate injection sites.
Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine can be administered simultaneously at separate sites or in any temporal relationship with other pediatric vaccines if this fits conveniently in the immunization scheme.
As a general rule, live attenuated viral or bacterial vaccines should not be administered to patients who are immunosuppressed as a result of large amounts of corticosteroids (more than 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent for more than two weeks).
