The idea that vaccines should be spread out instead of given according to the vaccine schedule is not supported scientifically. It is a falsehood promoted by antivaxxers who do NOT have children’s health in mind.
There are some vaccines that cannot be given at the same time as other vaccines because they simply will not work if given together. For technical reasons, the spacing of vaccines and boosters need to be timed to ensure maximum effect from the vaccine. These technical considerations are taken into account by the multidisciplinary groups who review current practices and recommend the vaccine schedule.

How DARE you throw data at an emotional issue!
To be fair, I should disclose that I’m a fan of vaccines.
All my kids got theirs as required. But absent a compelling reason, I’m a fan of letting others kids try new vaccines like this one to see what happens to them (if anything) before I consider them for my kids.
Sounds good but as in the article I posted the science to support those laudable assertions is not there. If this assertion were true there would not be such a disparity between other Nations vaccination schedules and our own.
As a scientist and a physician I know how much fluff and guesswork goes into decisions that are then reported as scientific by multidisciplinary groups. There is a need for vaccination but there is also a need for studies to effectively & safely administer them and identify subgroups that may be at risk.
