The following was placed in comment to H1N1 Misinformation By: Todd Neale | November 24, 2009
In 2007 a “Lancet” study stated that injecting 1/5 the usual dose of flu
vaccine subQ was as effective as the full 0.5 ml dose given IM. Is
anyone doing this? This month, after my call to the CDC, a
representative from the CDC checked & then got back to me that subQ
injections for the flu are considered an effective method of flu vaccine
administration (& is less painful = my editorial comment). Anyone doing
this? Any research being done on these thoughts?
