Hi everyone, I was curious about how to give flu shots. Are you supposed to aspirate when you're giving the shot or is aspiration unnecessary? i"m not asking for medical advice, I'm just curious.

I think the answer you're looking for is that for any IM injection (like the flu vaccine), you're technically supposed to pull back on the syringe to make sure you're not in a blood vessel before you inject.
