Sequential vs. simultaneous shots

Carla Kemp

Children who received two immunization injections simultaneously did not show less distress than those given shots sequentially, according to an Iowa study of 46 children.

The authors noted children are subjected to multiple injections at many well-child exams, as the number of recommended immunizations increases. The researchers, therefore, sought to determine whether giving shots at the same time is less painful than giving one injection after the other.
