Some MDs and pharmacists encourage getting them together, or say it's ok to do so; but my pharmacist friend told me it's better to get one at a time to maximize the benefits of each vaccine.

And yes, their concern is that folks won't return for the other vaccine, so better to get them together, but it's not. It's better to spread them out.
