Will multiple vaccines overwhelm the immune system?

No, vaccines make the immune system stronger by providing protection against diseases. Our immune system is designed to fight off the millions of germs and antigens it encounters everyday. Vaccines only contain a fraction of the antigens and germs that our bodies are exposed to each day and are a more safe and effective way to develop protection against diseases caused by these germs. Many studies have confirmed that giving a child several routine immunizations at one appointment does not increase the risk of a reaction to the vaccines. Combination vaccines (vaccines that contain more than one vaccine in a single shot) are safe and provide the same protection as vaccines given individually, but with fewer shots.
