It would depend of the age and condition of the person it was being given to. If it was a healthy 16 year old, then I can't imagine there would be a problem. However if its a 13 year old, or someone who is currently ill, then I would recommend seperating them out to avoid overwhelming the immune system.

yeah probably a good idea to ask on here instead of asking a dr or nurse
