Yes, you can. Any large muscle, such as the upper arm, outer thigh, or gluteus maximus (buttocks) can be used for the intramuscular injections of flu vaccines. However, many people avoid this location for flu shots since the site can be tender and muscles sore for some time after the injection due to local reaction to the injected vaccine. It is easier to avoid hurting the site of injection when it is in the arm instead of the buttocks that could be uncomfortable sitting down.
