Why not? Intramuscular injections ain't hard. NY was asking 1st year med students to sign up to help.
Qualms about this particular vaccine aside, the reasoning is sound. You can't mess up a jab to the deltoids.
Oh yeah? The new nurse at my new doctor's office stuck it straight into my shoulder joint and into the bursa. First time in my life I've yelled out loud at a shot. Over a year later still have swelling in my upper arm. And now it's the new ex nurse at my new ex Dr.'s office. (and that wasn't the only incompetence from them)
I stand corrected. Holy cow.
Someone I know got a flu shot a couple of years back, at a pharmacy. A similar thing happened to her - massive shoulder pain, swelling. She was looking into physiotherapy/other resources before I lost track of her. She had a job that required a lot of mobility and that went right out the window.
Ice packs will bring the swelling down. But it comes right back. And there are exercises to help maintain or get back mobility and strength. This works to a certain extent. But a year and a half later I still have some swelling. But it's a needless injury that could/should not happen with a properly trained medical person administering the shot.
Is that the same way they do the flu vaccine? Because the placement on that can actually cause lingering damage if placed incorrectly.
Yeah same way.
Placement DOES matter, and as others in this thread have pointed out, mess-ups happen more often than I gave credit for.
Case in point, anatomy prof emphasized that intramuscular injections in the gluteal area are "right upper quadrant - AWAY from important nerves and vessels."
