Intradermal Flu Shot

Nurses COVID

Published

I had a dr appt yesterday and got the intradermal shot. They told me it was preservative free (it is mercury free. It is a single dose vax, not a multi) and safer for pregnant women - which I am. I had never even heard of it being given intradermal before. Anyone else? It was still put on my upper arm. It hurts a bit, but not as bad as an IM. Of course now I'm terrified of feeling like crap. I've gotten the vax before though and always been fine, I'm just anxious in general. I was debating on whether or not to get it, but I live in NY, where you have to wear a mask during the entire flu season while working if you don't, so I went for it.
