Why are intramuscular injections preferred?
Intramuscular injections are preffered for delivery of many medications as it is the fastest and simplest way to infect drugs. Adrenaline (epinephrine to the yanks) is the classic example given during anaphalctic shock. Here a fast delivery of the drug is key and so waiting for a trained expert to be found would take too long. Intramuscular inveftion can be given by anyone simply by finding a large muscle (often the gluteus maximus) and injecting it, that simple. The next most simple is subcutaneous. This is again fairy simple but requires being shown how to perform and is a common mode of insulin injection in diabetics. Finally intravenous is the third form of injection but this requires finding a vein which takes some degree of skill and training.

Usually 7-10 days but it depends on breed, maturity, and method of dosing.

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.
