the top of the arm you don't write with. if your right handed, you'll get it in your left arm. if your left handed, you'll get it in your right arm.
-------------
You can choose in which arm to get the vaccination, I choose the arm I do write with and recommend it to others, because using the arm as you normally would helps the soreness go away faster. If I put it in the arm I use most, the soreness is gone faster. If I put it in the other arm, it stays sore days longer.

Does the routine flu jab prevent Swine Flu?
No, vaccination for the seasonal flu will not protect you from the H1N1 (swine) flu. ------------------------- Yes. In the 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the seasonal flu vaccine does contain the H1N1/09 swine flu vaccine along with two other flu viruses. There is no need to get a second flu shot this year like in the 2009-2010 flu season. It won't hurt to get it again if you got it last year or if you had the flu last year. It may even help, especially if you thought you had the H1N1 flu but it was not confirmed to have been that exact type of flu with lab testing at a special lab.
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.
