Flu Shots

  • Experts

Still sort of anti-vaxxer here, but perhaps there is hope for all of us, what?

Guess who's going to give flu shots this year at my hospital. Aw, go on. Guess.

Anyway, any advice from experienced givers of these shots?

I still wonder how they know several months in advance what viruses are going to appear in the Fall and Winter.

But my main question here is seeking advice from experienced flu shot nurses. Technique, do you watch patients for 20-30 minutes afterwards, have you dealt with anaphylaxis, bad shots, hysteria/excessive fear of needles, pregnant patients, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

    I would hope you're ok with the arm, as many of these are set up out in the open with no exam room or privacy curtain to even make it possible for someone to "drop their drawers"
