Question1. My 2 1/2 year old daughter got a flu shot today (she is high risk for flu). They injected the vaccine like an inch and a half above her knee! Isn't that too low? I thought the injections should be higher on the thight. I am concerned it won't be effective.
2. They gave her .25 ml of Fluzone (flu vaccine). Isn't she supposed to get .50? She did have 2 injections one month apart last year. So shouldn't she get the full dose of .50 this year? They said she only needs one shot of .25.
By the way, the flu vaccine was given at an Urgent Care Clinic, not by her pediatrician (who is out of vaccine)
Thanks
Answer The site of the injection should not matter much other than it might be more sore there than it would have been other wise.
As far as the how much she recieved, I am not really the person to ask that. You should ask that to a Dr. or a pharmacist.
Good luck, and my apologizes for the delay.
