Reduce the Risk of Pain or Injury From IM Vaccinations

You play a key role in minimizing pain and preventing injury from intramuscular (IM) vaccines...even if you're not an immunizer.

It's common for patients to have arm soreness or discomfort for a couple days after getting any IM vaccine (COVID-19, Tdap, etc).

But shoulder injury or other serious issues can occur if a vaccine isn't given properly.
