After watching a recent Dr John Campbell vid chatting with an apparent vac. injured woman, a lot of subtle reference was made to a taste after receiving their shots.
As a well and truly recovered ex "speed" injector back in the early 80's, a taste was always the signal of a job well done.
Point is, in that scene in those days, and it wont have changed, we always aspirated (jacked) a syringe (fit) to know the hit was going into the vein.
All intra-muscular injections should be aspirated before completion. Its a basic WHO et al guideline in their myriad of programs.
Yet in this 7.5 billion units injection roll out, little emphasis has been applied, its seem , to the importance of, in this case, MISSING the veins.
IMO, a combination of a cocktail, created in no time, needing first world+++ storage; with a newly recruited, in-experienced delivery workforce is a recipe for a poor outcome.
And then it doesn't even do what you had it for. ie. work, immunize.
Anyone here,,,, I am not for this shot. I've had the lot in my life,
but not this one.
So if you've had it, did they nurse aspirate????
