Self injecting flu vaccine

[manonthemoon2]

I'm ALD and get the jab with my pharmacy.

For my OH we're going to buy one, so my question is to those who self vaccinate, themselves or partners, do you angle the needle or go straight in?

I'm a diabetic so used to injections of myself.

Get the pharmacist to do it. Only costs a couple of euros.

Manonthemoon2: going to buy one for self vaccination? I don't see this possibility mentioned by the French authorities:

Quote: Les médecins, les sages-femmes, les infirmiers ou infirmières, les pharmaciens et certains centres médicaux peuvent effectuer des vaccinations, dans le respect du calendrier des vaccinations et dans le cadre de l'exercice de leurs compétences.

Vérifié le 27 novembre 2021 - Direction de l'information légale et administrative (Premier ministre).

Unless the abbrevation ALD covers one of the above mentioned professions.

Not being brave enough, we got the pharmacy to do it, cost €6 each.
