It may be a bit of a human tendency to swing from one extreme to the other....I don't know for sure but have observed that pattern many time with many things.
A middle balance seems hard to find. That may be because it costs more in terms of energy/research/discussion with medical professionals to find a middle way. Sometimes that can involves spending, too.
It is likely to be more economical to give dogs the combination vaccine.
I am also a little wary of combination vaccines given to young children whose immune systems have hardly developed enough to cope with such sudden challenges.
I cannot help thinking that sensibly-spaced single vaccines might be healthier.
I can imagine this is difficult with health services, such as the NHS in Britain. The NHS I am sure, only provide a certain structure and are unwiling to change it.
It is certainly available in private medicine of course, and available in veterinary medicine (as one pays privately) so one has a right to ask for it.
Clients are often looked at askance for asking, and some vets may even say it's not possible to provide single vaccines. But I know that it is.
Titer testing costs about 3-4 times as much as a regular consultation and the automatic "combination shots". So clients also have to be prepared, and willing, for those costs.
