That is weird. The reason most right-handed people want the shot in the left arm is movement causes pain.The CVS store I got mine at is set up so the nurses can only give shots in the left arms of "victims" (clients), but I don't know if all CVS stores that do it are like that.


I thought the shots should make everyone bleed because it goes through all three skin layers. Are you sure you typed that correctly?

I don't bleed from shots. They always slap a bandaid on, and its always a waste. At the most there will be a tiny dot of blood, but usually nothing at all.

Not shots at all, regardless of what they are for?

Got my second Moderna shot yesterday, no side effects, just mild discomfort in the arm. Daughter got her second Pfizer shot Thursday, got sick to her stomach with a headache on Friday.

I'm sorry about your daughter. My husband had the same symptoms your daughter did after Pfizer no. 2 a couple of days ago.

4 more days until I hit that "2 weeks after second dose" full immunity threshold - although I probably am already there since I tested positive for Covid in October.

I had the Pfizer, and for both doses nothing more than a sore arm - but I was essentially asymptomatic when I actually had Covid.

My wife is a different story. She was hospitalized for 6 days when she had Covid, and after her 1st dose of Moderna she had chills aches and fatigue. She still has not had her 2nd - but hopefully the immune response from the 1st dose will be the stronger of the two.

I'm so sorry that you both have had such a hard time.

Nope. This last Moderna, she already had the bandaid opened and ready. Looked at my arm, shrugged a little, and put it on anyway. Not one little speck of blood when I took it off.
 
I went to take off my bandaid a few days after my second shot. (I had bad swelling and an itchy rash, so I didn't go near the area for days.) When I finally went to pull it off, it was already gone. I assumed I had taken it off earlier, but maybe no one put one on me, either.

Actually that is not enough information! I love to lear this medical stuff. But what I really want to know is why do they have to put it in the deltoid muscle instead of a bicep?

I'm curious about that too. I used to get allergy shots, and it seems like they were much lower on my arm, but its been a while so I can't swear to that.

I thought you knew the answer because you seem to be a retired nurse with your ability to give people shots.
 
I used to give my dog (the Newfoundland) shots. Allergy shots. I was very bad at it. I hit my thumbnail with the needle more than once. It is funny that I couldn't handle a syringe, because I was a phlebotomist in college. I think most of my problem was getting the top off the syringe without sticking myself.

Surprisingly I never did stick myself. Hard to imagine, because I'm a total klutz.

Oh hell no. Those were more traumatic for me than for the cat.

Thank God my Newfie was completely chill!!! I was never fazed. Heck, I once fell on him, lengthwise, in the dark because he was black and I never saw him until I tripped over him. He never uttered a peep!

Lol, he probably didn't really notice. Dogs are so much easier for medications and things. Loved the cat, but if I need to give shots? Give me a dog.

I had a cat who needed allergy shots. My mom did it while I made sure he could not move. He seemed to learn the word "shot" by himself. But it was a B12 shot she gave another cat that went through her skin so I could see both ends of the needle.

My mom said she learned to shuffle in the hallway when we had a brown/white classic tabby and a black/white tuxedo. Once she stepped on the tabby at the top of the basement stairs and went clunk clunk clunk on her butt to the bottom.
