- Administering Vaccines
- General Issues
If I need to give more than 1 injection in a muscle, are certain vaccines best given at different anatomic sites?
Since DTaP and pneumococcal conjugate (PCV) are the vaccines most likely to cause a local reaction, it is prudent to give DTaP and PCV in separate limbs (if possible), so there is no confusion about which vaccine caused the reaction.
