Certainly, the MMR2 and Pentaxim vaccines can be administered on the same day. It's not unusual for vaccines to be given at separate times due to availability. As long as each vaccine is given correctly, a 5-hour interval won't affect their efficacy. Your baby should be fine, but for peace of mind, keep an eye on her and follow up with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.
Health Tips
