Several reasons why shots are given in the buttocks... GG shots used to be, if the shot is over 1cc, or if the patient has poor muscle mass or tiny arms. Taking a shot in the butt is actually less painful, but not really the norm anymore. Also, some heavy-duty antibiotics go in the butt.

But I am fairly certain all the shots given at St. Lukes are in the arm.

Most vaccines required for immigration are subcutaneous shots and are given in the arm. No muscle needed and actually can be harmful if given in the muscle. There will be no antibiotics given and yes they are indeed given in a deep muscle.

I have to forewarn my fiancee.

Why put yourself through all that misery before hand. It will be bad enough on that dayheadbonk.gif

YIKESblink.gif Because she received so many in one day, they rotated the injection sites. That is why they worked their way to her leg.

I had to buy Mari ice creamrofl.gif

Ouch, they don't let you out of the Philippines without going through all the vaccines again.
