can tetanus, meningitis, and chicken pox shots be all collided into 1 shot?


can tetanus, meningitis, and chicken pox shots be all collided into 1 shot?I have to get my tetanus, meningitis, and 2nd dose of chicken pox shots very soon. (for Middle School) I'm going to the Health Department in my town. I'm just wondering if I can as whoever is giving me the shots if I can collide them all into 1 shot, so i can get all of them over with at once. Is that possible to collide all of those? And if i do, will it hurt as much?

That is a unique use of the word "collided", but I get what you are asking. The answer is no, because 1. the shots are often in pre-filled syringes and you can't combine them, 2. that would be too much fluid in one shot for the arm muscle, 3. they may be incompatible. The tetanus is the most painful. You might want to put a hot pack on your arm after and take a tylenol.

Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
