Reply to comment by dryingsocks in Is there any difference in efficacy when a vaccine is administered somewhere other than the upper arm (e.g. on the foot)? by MercurioLeCher

We sat, I'm 6'3, they were less that 5' so it was still an odd lean. It was a pharmacy tech instead of a doc. Some areas trained them for vaccines due to the sudden demand.

p sure it had to be a doctor here. I'm pretty tall (almost 2m) the person giving the injection always stood during my jabs

The pharmacy tech giving shots is a new thing spurred on by COVID. Before then it was always the pharmacist.

Am pharmacist

Not sure who gave me my flu shots or shingles shots pre-Covid. I presumed a pharm tech, but it may have been the pharmacist.

Every time I've gotten a shot at a pharmacy, it's been the pharmacist that administered it. I didn't think techs were allowed to.
