What if you could get multiple vaccines in one visit the old oneanddone approach? Itd be more convenient but is it safe? 

Primary care specialist Daniel Sullivan MD answers that question and explains what you need to know about getting more than one vaccine at a time. 
Can you get multiple vaccines at once as an adult? 
The short answer is yes. Its been shown both in studies and in general use that getting more than one vaccine in a day is completely safe says Dr. Sullivan.
Getting more than one vaccine doesnt mean mixing all the vaccines in a single syringe and getting only one shot though. It means you can safely get multiple separate vaccines during one appointment.  
Mixing or combining vaccines into one shot is only OK for certain formulations approved by the U S. Food and Drug Administration FDA. One approved combo is HepAHepB a single vaccination that guards adults against both hepatitis A and hepatitis B. 
While its safe there are still some pros and cons to weigh about getting multiple separate shots in one visit. Lets take a look. 
Benefits of getting multiple vaccines at one time 
Overall doubling or even tripling up on vaccines offers more benefits than downsides.  
If you dont mind getting multiple shots youll be better off stacking multiple vaccines into one appointment when you can Dr. Sullivan says. 
Check out these potential benefits of getting multiple vaccinations at once.  
Increases effectiveness 
Vaccines trigger your immune system to produce antibodies proteins that recognize and attack a disease or virus.  
You may wonder if your body can mount an immune response to more than one vaccine at a time. Dr. Sullivan explains that getting vaccines simultaneously is not only safe but it also may actually make each of those vaccines even more effective. 
Getting a vaccine improves your bodys immune response Dr. Sullivan explains. The second vaccine enhances that response and intensifies your ability to react to the vaccine trigger.
