It is generally okay if the child received it in the same thigh. Sometimes child receive multiple vaccinations in both/ same limbs and hence it occurs. The injection sites should be more than 1 inch apart, if possible. Book an appointment with me to discuss further. You can follow me on Instagram @pediatrician_india for more helpful tips ! Take care !
