Ok, break from interviewing, gotta question....can my 16 month old daughter get her MMR and varicella at the same time, or should I space them. The vaccination schedule isn't quite clear, but it looks like she can.?? Thanks

Yes. MMR and Varicella vaccine can be given on the same day. However, if they are not administered on the same day, they must be separated by at least 4 weeks.

for further information you can read this.

Thats what I figured, the schedule has a wide bar over several months, so I just wasn't sure. OK, thats great. Thanks 😀
