Influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations raised risk for fever when given at the same time

From dailyRx (1/6/14):

Influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations raised risk for fever when given at the same time

Among children who were simultaneously given the trivalent inactivated vaccine for influenza and pneumococcal vaccine, 37.6% had a fever the day of or the day after administration, according to a study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. Fever rates were lower when the vaccines were taken separately, with 9.5% with the pneumococcal vaccine alone and 7.5% with influenza vaccine alone the day of or the day after vaccination. Researchers found no differences in fever incidence for days two through seven in all vaccination groups.
