Random vaccination thoughts
So I have a weird question. Well not really a question, more like a topic to bring up. Something I’ve always thought about and could never really find any definitive answers. So being that our muscles are atrophied, I wonder if sometimes it’s possible that injections do not make it into our muscles. Like if the person doesn’t go in deep enough or whatever needs to be done with an atrophied muscle. Maybe you don’t need to go in deep, I don’t know. I went for my covid booster tonight and I mentioned to the girl not to go too high up on my shoulder because my muscle is more atrophied there. I usually always ask people to go just a little bit below that. Because my arm is a lot meatier there. So she goes oh ok thank you for telling me that, & just so you know I’m not even going to put the needle in all the way. I’ll probably put it just halfway or even a quarter of the way. And I said to her… wouldn’t it be better to put it in all the way if my muscles are smaller? And she goes, if I put it in all the way there’s more chance of hitting the bone. So I just said ok whatever because I didn’t want to sound like I was telling her how to do her job. Now I’m questioning her method because I asked a nurse friend about that and she said she should have put the needle in all the way. And I don’t really understand why she was so afraid of hitting the bone anyway because my upper arms are actually pretty big. My mom laughs all the time that my upper arms are bigger than hers. I am not boney there at all so I don’t know why she was so concerned about my bone. Now in my head I’m like oh great, did I just waste my time getting a vaccine that will be completely ineffective. I feel nothing in my arm yet. No discomfort or anything. Have any of you guys questioned this as well? Or am I just obsessing LOL
