help...is it okay to give a flu shot to someone who is taking coumadin? I did have the patient apply extra pressure for about 5-10 minutes.

If you are concerned about bleeding at injection site, it would be just like any other shot, apply pressure (just like you did). But if you are referring to drug interractions, I have no clue, lol.
