I am trying to remember when my older son who is now almost six started getting shots in his arms. I know for his shots before kindergarten they were all in his arms, they used both. Prior to that that his last shots were at his three year check-up I think that one was given in his leg.

Her legs are fine once they are done-We took her to arcade and all. You are the first to tell me a younger age. I’m glad I didn’t have them done in her arms or else she would have had a horrible day yesterday.

Tucker is 4 1/2 and still gets shots in his legs. I like it better there because there’s more baby fat in the legs. Why can’t adults get shots in their legs? I have plenty of fat there.

I posted on your FB, but it was 12 months for Lauren and Jillian still gets her shots in her legs because she doesn’t use them. The thought is, when they’re more mobile, they don’t want to bug their legs to much so they can still walk/run, etc.

Aaliyah MY Four year old STILL got them in her legs. We plan to do the legs til she’s atleast old enough to know to stay still and not be too scared. So…who knows what age that is. SO YES I have a FOUR year old who gets them in her legs still. She got 2 at her 4 year wellness and they were both in the legs & they did the Flu Vaccine in her nose (which was a first for us, and last!) Shots in the arms shouldn’t be until the child actually hs big enough arms to handle it.. in my opinon. I don’t know. I am shocked by the whole thing!
