Just got the 2010 flu shot at my doctor's office a couple hours ago, along with my three kids. It seems we all received our shots higher up on the arm than in years' past. My shot was nearly on top of my shoulder bone. It actually felt like it hit the bone. It stung like a mo-fo -- way more than years' past. It bled like CRAZY afterward and hurts right now. Why are the shots given so high this time? It seems they were at least three inches further down in the past. If I get the pain as others have mentioned above, I'm going to be very unhappy!
