Question about shots.

KKMMex · September 2010

Does your pediatrician always give shots in the leg? If not, where does she/he give them?

always in the thigh.

They always do them in the leg. Kaitlyn was a trooper last time and didn't cry, but she had a big reaction to them... Her leg swelled and was red for a day or two where the shot was.

yep, ours does the thigh also.

So far always in the thigh.

Ours does the thigh until 9 (maybe 12?) months and then it's in the arms.
