“Don’t they pay doctors to think about things like that?”
They do little or any research for groups of vaccines, just certify a single vaccine then throw it in the batch. To my knowledge there are no studies about groups of vaccines upon the health of a child.
The well being of many outweighs the well being of a few. It’s the classic Faustian contract of health professionals. If they didn’t follow it the little ‘disease resevoirs’ would inflict cholera, small pox, polio, diptheria and all the rest upon us. Why it would be the 19th century all over agin!!!

I realize you put the sarc tag at the end, but you're more correct than you maybe realize on this. One of the reasons that schools insist on vaccines for all of the students is that studies have established that there is a certain minimum number within the population that must be vaccinated in order to provide "herd immunity." E.g., 95% must be vaccinated against polio in order to prevent the remaining 5% from catching and spreading polio. (Do not quote me on the numbers! They are for illustrative purposes only.) Without sufficient numbers of immunized individuals, the disease can spread even among those who were immunized.
