Okay, so I have a few questions. I am going to start working in an office where I have to give immunizations. I was wondering if I am supposed to aspirate when giving the IM immunizations. I have heard both yes and no so I thought I would ask the experts. Also, do you pinch the skin and then give it IM in the child or do you not pinch ensuring that it goes in IM. Also, how much space between each injection if they are in the same thigh? I do know that MMR and Varicella are SQ and they are not aspirated. Thanks for all your help! Can you tell I am nervous and excited all at the same time.
