There are plans to roll out an updated version of the COVID-19 Vaccine, plus flu shot season is right around the corner in the US. Earlier this year, I wrote about the fact that higher-weight people can require longer needles for the safest and most effective vaccinations, not just for COVID-19, but for intramuscular vaccines in general, in this case those delivered to the deltoid (upper arm.)
This is such a fantastic resource, thank you! I wonder if guidelines like this exist in the UK too. Need to get researching 👀👀
Super helpful, Ragen. Thank you.
