Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Your Pediatrician has correctly suggested that mmr and varicella to be given on the same day.
It is very correct.
No need to give separately.
Actually giving on the same day has boosting effect for each other.
If you don't want it on the same day for any concern, then you need to have a gap of minimum one month.
