Hello everyone and thanks in advance...

i have about 45 days to get my vaccines together but am confused on the info in regards to the 2 step PPD and MMR plus Virucella vaccines being administered together..online people say you can't and the clinic I'm going to is saying I can do them at the same time but from reading online it says that if you take MMR or Virucella with the first PPD the results could be false and you will have to wait for like 30 days before you can do the PPD again which I can't afford to mess up on.

Here is what I need.

2 step PPD

MMR

Virucella

Hep B

Tdap

Hep C? I don't even know why they have this listed..

What should I do it's driving me crazy no on has a answer for me so that's why I joined the sight and hopefully the knowledge on this forum can help me out...

Scenarios:

1. I take 2 step PPD, MMR, Virucella, Hep B, Tdap all in one day as my clinic is saying to do and their will be no problems or...should I?

2. Take 2 step PPD wait the week get the second....then get 1st set of MMR, Virucella together and then wait 28 days for the second sets of these?

Also if anyone can let me know where and when I can squeeze in the Tdap, and Hep B. Can I do these if I go with scenario 2 can I do them with the 2 step PPD or do them with MMR and Virucella; will they interfere with MMR, or Virucella? I'm kind of lost hope I am clear in what I am asking here...

Thank you to anyone who has read my thread in its entirety to help me out...please help...������������

I've literally just had a false-positive reaction to the PPD read today. I had the BCG vaccine as a child, but I had a negative PPD for immigration 3 years ago so I thought I would be OK. All they did was follow-up with an x-ray (negative) and I took everything to school. No requirement of antibiotics.
