If CDC no aspiration could the flu shot given incorrectly,... iv???? OK thanks, although i have a general question. I do aspirate on my injections but i know some co workers dont on flu shots, since they say deltoid muscle is too big to miss. Ok so lets say that person did not aspirate and they injected into vein on a flu shot ...What would happen. I mean i know i did aspirate, but now i am second guessing if i did for long enough and what if i didnt and it did go to vein. Thanks for more info

We have started giving flu shots. I have done many. I have some that bleed and others that dont. I was wondering if anyone has seen this before. Pt was given flu shot in deltoid, aspirate and saw no blood, but when I pulled out needle it bleed and I went to use safety needle cover and saw blood in syringe and on needle tip. WHAT! Did this get administered wrong. If so will pt be OK. Pt felt fine, I doubled checked. What if any complications would there be, and how did this happen? I have given so many, with some that bleed quite a bit, but I never saw in syring, unless I never noticed that before. Any help would be great, so I can relax a bit. Thanks
