Bleeding and Clotting Disorders |
Subcutaneous Injection09/30/2009 |
I suffer from a bleeding disorder and my doctor said that I must have my vaccines injected subcutaneously, not intramuscularly. Why is that? Does this have something to do with my bleeding disorder?
Subcutaneous injections are more superficial and less likely to induce bleeding. The vaccine should really be just as effective though given subcutaneously.
