There are 2 factors:
1. There is no need to give all 3 vaccines at the same time other than financial cost to the NHS, separate vaccines require more medical staff time. Pharmaceutical companies only supply what they’re asked for.
Giving multiple vaccines together does increase the risk of reaction damage.
2. How much liability are the health professionals willing to accept- ie how much will they pay when a child reacts to the vaccines, always gives you a clue to real safety. If it’s only done with parental consent then you know there’s a level of doubt.
What’s the parents choice? The Government have now prevented single vaccines use by restricting the licence even though they know separate vaccines are safe? Why?
I had to go to France to obtain separate vaccines, they are safe and there is no good medical reason why parents shouldn’t be given a choice. As health policy if you restrict the immunisation to the one multiple vaccines then they should be willing to pay compensation.
