Varicella, or chickenpox vaccine, is administered as a subcutaneous injection. It is typically given in a healthcare setting, such as a doctor's office or clinic. The vaccine is usually provided in two doses: the first dose is given between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second dose is administered between 4 and 6 years of age.

Where does the tetanus injection go in your body?
The tetanus injection is typically administered intramuscularly, most commonly in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.

This method allows the vaccine to effectively stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the tetanus toxin.
What is the most appropriate site for IM injection in small children and infants?
The most appropriate site for intramuscular (IM) injection in small children and infants is the vastus lateralis muscle, located on the outer thigh. This site is preferred because it is large enough to accommodate the volume of the injection and has a lower risk of injury to nerves and blood vessels. For infants, the deltoid muscle may be used in some cases, but the vastus lateralis remains the safest option for most IM injections. Always ensure proper technique and dosage according to age and size.
Why are buttock muscules as injection sites for children under age 2 contraindicated?
Injecting medication into the buttock muscle in children under age 2 is contraindicated because the gluteal muscles are not fully developed and may not provide proper absorption of the medication. Additionally, the sciatic nerve runs through the buttock area, making it a risky site for injections in young children. A more suitable injection site for young children is the vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh.

Why can't a flu shot be given sub q?
Most of the flu vaccines for injection are designed to be given in the muscle tissue. If your injection was given with the wrong length needle and it ended up in the subcutaneous tissue instead of the muscle, it may still provide some immunity. Check with the clinician who gave you the shot, or with your doctor or pharmacist to find out if you will need another vaccination to be fully protected. There is a new form of flu vaccine that is made to be injected intradermally (within the layers of the skin). It comes with its own micro-injection system that should assure the injection is in the correct tissue. This would be a type that would likely work better than the IM formulation if given subcutaneously, but the vaccines are not intended to be given by that route.
