Shots in the rear are done because of the type of medicine being injected, not because of age.

I am middle-aged, and receive certain injections in the rear (which the nurses call, "The hip") and others are done in the shoulder. There is a difference between the two locations.

When I was a kid, I had injections in both locations, as well. Also in the Army, both locations.
