Where is the proper injection site into the deltoid muscle located?

The proper injection site for the deltoid muscle is located in the mid-lateral aspect of the upper arm, approximately 2-3 fingerbreadths below the acromion process. This area is typically found in the center of the deltoid muscle, ensuring that the injection is administered into the muscle and not into the surrounding tissues. It's important to use a clean technique and to palpate the area to confirm the appropriate site.

Where does the Swine Flu jab go?

In adults and children with adequate muscular structure, the intramuscular injection is usually put in the upper arm. Those with lack of adequate muscle in that location, such as children and infants, usually get the injection in the outer thigh muscle. To help recover quicker from the soreness that these may cause ask that the injection be put in your dominate arm (the arm that you use most). The aches and soreness after the flu shots are improved significantly with use of the arm, so if you have it put in your most used arm, you will be forced to use it more and then the soreness will be gone sooner.
