When giving vaccinations, I know they should be given in the neck, and SQ if possible; however, when giving multiple shots, what is the best procedure.

Example: If I am giving 3 different shots - 7-way Blackleg shot, a Triangle-9 shot, and an injectible wormer, where should all the shots be given? Should I give 2 on 1 side of the neck and 1 on the other side of the neck? Has anyone had any reaction when giving a blackleg and Triangle 9 on the same side of the neck, say 3"-4" apart?
 
Ok, let me ask it this. For those of you giving you own vaccinations, what is your procedure? All vaccinations on the same side of the neck, or do you switch sides?

Thanks
