Is it okay to put these vaccines in the same arm? I tried looking this up I can't seem to find anything about it. Thanks.

I recently had to get three vaccinations at one time(travel clinic). They gave me two in one arm and one in the other. We do not have a policy stating that you need to give injections in separate limbs. I remember my arm was so sore I could hardly lift it up by the end of the day but otherwise there is no contraindication to doing this.
