Vaccination is a widely-used method of immunizing populations against communicable illnesses. In this video, we’ll show in detail the standard method of administering a vaccine. We cover not only the injection of the vaccine but also pre-injection and post-injection procedures that ensure safety and efficiency. The information in this video is especially important for care providers immunizing against COVID-19.

Filming of this video took place in compliance with hygiene protocols.

Please Note: This video is based on the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC no longer recommends aspiration prior to injection because blood vessels local to the injection site are too small to pose a risk of intravascular injection. Furthermore, rapid injection can reduce pain. Read the CDC’s vaccination guidelines for healthcare providers: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/index.html
