[HAPS-L] tatoos and flu shots



Hello HAPS members,

 

Yesterday one of my A & P II students said that his job requires/offers flu shots.

 

He asked me if I knew why they would not give them to those with tattoos on their shoulders (I am assuming deltoid region).  If both shoulders were done, they did not get a flu shot. 

 

I asked him why they wouldn’t give the shot in another body part, and he did not know.

 

Does anyone  have an explanation about the correlation of tattoos and flu shots?  I would appreciate an explanation.

 

Thanks,
