Why are vaccinations injected into the muscle as opposed to the vein?
Vaccinations are injected into the muscle to slow down its distribution to the body's tissues. If it were administered directly in a vein, it would reach every part of the body much too quickly and thus has the potential to incite an overly strong immune response. By placing it in the muscle, only small amounts of the vaccine are transferred into the blood stream at a time, dampening the immune response. The purpose of a vaccine is to develop antibodies against a particular antigen (usually viruses) so that your body can fight it off if exposed to it in the future. You don't actually need a full blown immune response to do this, just development of the correct immune cells. So by injecting into the muscle instead of a vein, you are saving yourself from pain, inflammation, or even shock.
Can you live if your immune system shuts down?

Does swelling hurt?
Inflammation is a response from your immune system in response to an irritant. For example, if you sprain your ankle, your immune system creates a protein called a Circulating Immune Complex (CIC for short). The CIC travels down to the injured ankle and causes pain and swelling.The pain you feel is to inform you of the injury or damage. And the swelling is protective as it prevents you from moving it and causing more irritation. This is also your body's way of running to the problem with fresh blood, antibodies and vital cells in order to begin healing and repairing the damage.from: http://www.losethebackpain.com/inflammation5.html

How human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) affects on the immune system?
It uses one of the main type of immune cells - CD4 cells - to reproduce. The immune response to infection is to produce more CD4 cells, which the virus uses to reproduce even more etc. The immune system initially controls the virus. However, without treatment, usually over many years, the virus slowly wears down the number of CD4 cells. This leaves someone vulnerable to a wide range of serious infections.
