The most preferret side of IM injuction in pediatric patients is?

The most preferred side for intramuscular (IM) injection in pediatric patients is typically the vastus lateralis muscle, located on the outer thigh. This site is favored due to its size, accessibility, and because it is less likely to be affected by potential injury or muscle development issues compared to other sites, such as the deltoid. Additionally, the vastus lateralis is well-developed in infants and young children, making it a safer option for vaccine administration and other medications.
