Meanwhile, most moms and dads still prefer to agree to vaccination for their child. Already from the first hours of life, the toddler has to transfer a sufficiently large number of vaccinations, which the doctor or nurse can put by different methods.
What methods of vaccination are there?
There are 4 ways to administer vaccines:
- oral (in the mouth);
- intradermal (in the arm);
- intramuscular (in the thigh);
- subcutaneous (under the scapula).
In this article, we will talk about what kind of vaccination is done under the scapula, both adults and young children.
What vaccine is put under the scapula?
The subcutaneous method of administering the vaccine is the most painful. Basically, this method is used in adults, but after one year's performance, the vaccine should be transferred to the child also under the shoulder blade.
Many people have the question: "What is the vaccination done to the shoulder?" For adults, tetanus, diphtheria, tick-borne encephalitis and hepatitis B vaccines are administered in this way, and for children - a prophylactic vaccination against measles, rubella and mumps.
Meanwhile, this method of vaccination is not only the most unpleasant, but also the most effective. The method of subcutaneous placement of vaccinations under the scapula is selected when it is necessary for the vaccine to dissolve as quickly as possible. To do this, it is necessary that under the skin there is a minimal fat layer, which is observed in the scapular area in adults and toddlers over the year.
