"Coadministration of COVID-19 vaccines with other vaccines
COVID-19 vaccines may be administered without regard to timing of other vaccines.

This includes simultaneous administration of COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines on the same day. If multiple vaccines are administered at a single visit, administer each injection in a different injection site. For people ≥11 years of age, the deltoid muscle can be used for more than one intramuscular injection administered at different sites in the muscle. For children (5–10 years of age), if more than two vaccines are injected in a single limb, the vastus lateralis muscle of the anterolateral thigh is the preferred site because of greater muscle mass.

Best practices for multiple injections include:

Label each syringe with the name and the dosage (amount) of the vaccine, lot number, the initials of the preparer, and the exact beyond-use time, if applicable.
Separate injection sites by 1 inch or more, if possible.
Administer the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccines that may be more likely to cause a local reaction in different limbs, if possible.
See general best practices and Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (The Pink Book) for further information."
