Why do men have 2 flu injections?!
Question: Why do men have 2 flu injections.?
Yesterday like a good little person, i got into the queue at my doctors to see the nurse for my yearly flu injection, but what confused me is why did all the men get a flu injection in both of their arms and the women only get 1 flu injection in their left arm.? Believe me i'm not complaining about only getting 1 injection, i just wondered if men needed double the dosage for a reason as i have never come across this before and i have had this injection every year of my life.Health Question & Answer

I have only had one jab.? Are you sure the men you saw were not having another jab along side the flu one. A easy explaination is that they may have been over weight, thus needing more juice, or they may have used a lower dosage meaning they had to double up the jabs to ensure that the fatties had enough in them.Health Question & Answer
