Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

The claim is refuted by standard medical practice and vaccine development, which routinely combine multiple antigens into successful multi-antigen formulas—such as the MMRV, DTaP, and multivalent bacterial vaccines—to protect against several diseases with a single injection.

The analysis

The claim asserts that most vaccines are not combined due to adverse immunological interference. However, combination vaccines (e.g., MMRV, DTaP, multivalent Salmonella and rotavirus approaches) are extremely common and successful public health tools designed precisely to reduce the number of injections while maintaining efficacy. The retrieved papers describe successful multivalent and combination vaccines such as quadrivalent MMRV [10] and multivalent Salmonella vaccines [5], directly contradicting the idea that combination is avoided due to insurmountable immunological interference.

This study discusses multivalent vaccines under development for Salmonella serovars, demonstrating that combination vaccines are actively pursued rather than avoided due to interference.
