A combination of two or more vaccines (i.e. the diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis vaccine). Like the individual vaccines, combination vaccines are developed through scientific research. They are also tested through clinical trials for appropriateness, safety, and effectiveness before they are licensed and released for use by the public.
Two or more vaccines administered in a single injection in order to reduce the number of shots given, e.g. MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine.
