If I try a new allergen on vaccination day, I can't distinguish the reaction — should I do them on separate days?

You're thinking correctly — it's best to try a new allergen on a different day, not vaccination day. After vaccination, there can be mild fever, fussiness, and rash; trying a new food the same day makes it really hard to tell if a possible allergic reaction (hives, lip swelling, etc.) is from the vaccine or the food. Practical advice: trying at least 2-3 days after vaccination, when baby is completely well, gives the clearest result. Adding only one new food at a time also makes it easier to identify — this is also in line with current pediatric thinking.
