Will There Be Any Side Effect To Infant If Both Vaccines Get Done At Same Place Of Body?

I had a question about immunizations in infants. I know that when you are giving two vaccines in one area there should be about an inch apart, but happens if the second shot goes in really really close to the frist shot or even in the same spot. Will the infant be ok?

There will be no side effects for the child if two vaccine are given close to each other . But immunogenicity of vaccine might be decreased leading to decrease in efficacy of vaccine .
