Hey everyone! I heard a long time ago that I should not get vaccines in my injured arm. I always get all my shots in my right arm and have never really thought about it much. I was wondering if anybody else has heard this or can give a reason for it? It's always such a pain if my good arm is sore because I rely on it more. I was thinking about getting my flu shot in my injured arm to test it out. Haha if I get the flu this winter it didn't work!

Thanks,

I've heard that quite a few times. I believe it's because the bad arm can have poor circulation, and you don't want to mess with that. That's all i know though

sarah, i responded to an older post you might be interested in. i searched shots in bpi arm. there are a lot more if you care to look them up. i looked in the general message board.

Thank you! I just read all the posts on that thread. I might look up some more too. I didn't even think to search for old topics! I'll definitely try that more!

Thanks again,
Brittney
