Just recently I went to my family doctor's office to get the 2015 flu shot. The nurse injected into my arm without swabbing with alcohol. Before I could say anything, she shot my husband too. I know I should have said something, but I just left there silently with my mouth open. BUT, then a few days later I had a blood draw at another facility and mentioned to the phlebotomist that I was given a flu shot without alcohol and she said same thing happened to her at this other facility. She had the wits to ask why no alcohol and the nurse told her, "That's how we do them now, because the alcohol doesn't do anything unless your arm is visibly dirty". What do you all think?? I know shots are given like this in the UK and Australia, but this happened in Colorado. Is this the new trend?
