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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Kelly, 1 reason is that they have a larger body mass and the dose is determined by weight,DonnaWww@Answer-Health@Com
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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could they have been having a Pneumonia jab too !? My friend had a flu jab in his left arm and a pneumonia jab in his right arm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Its a coincidence that they were all men - you have only one flu jab the other would be for pneumonia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
One of those injections was something other than flu!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I must agree with the majority, this year I have had one jab, last year it was two, one being a Pneumonia jab!. I don't know if they give that to ladies or notWww@Answer-Health@Com
A real man should not have a flu shot!.
It should only be for kids and the elderly!.
