would you let your 13month old have the mmr vaccine and pneumococcal at the same time?

i was just wondering what everyones thoughts are on this one. today my ds had her mmr and i asked if they could do the pneumococcal on a seperate occasion. the nurse obliged and said i was'nt the first to ask for this, but then she said lots have had them at the same time. so what does everyone think? anyone had any bad experiences after having all the jabs together?

DS1 had it done at the same time, but he was late in having them, he was 20mths.

Personally, I would. Children's immune systems are able to cope with it, and I hate taking mine for immunisations, so it would be good to get it all donme in one go.

Ds had them both at the same time about 5 months ago and he was and is fine, no reaction at all apart from a scattering of spots about 2 weeks later which is normal.
However all kids are different and I wouldn't use his experience as an indication of anything at all, people need to look at their own children's medical history and that of their family.
I looked at ours and went for it.

I've let my dd have the vaccines at the same time, with no problems.

My ds had his both at the same time at 15 mths and was fine - I hate the sight of the needles so wanted to get it over with in one go!
