New combination vaccines.
Physicians can achieve full vaccination at each of the recommended visits by administering three or four injections, but for infants, four injections seem to be a maximum in light of the size of the infant thigh, which is the preferred injection site. Thus, physicians must make room for all of the new vaccines on the horizon. To accomplish that task, combinations will be necessary. Progress toward that goal is occurring.
