X...Cervical cancer jab...X?

I'm going to have the cervical cancer jab soon and i was just wondering where in your body they stick the needle. Some people told me in the arm, some in the bum.
What is right?
X

i had it last tuesday [year 8]
it is in the upper arm
eurgh it is definitely not in your bum! :/

it stings a little and is sore for a couple of days after but then it is gone, it is only like a little pinprick.
it stops bleeding after a second
don't worry

x,

Heya,
It is typically top of the arm where they inject it, but they can also inject it on the top of your leg, it really depends on the doctor on where they decide to inject but normally its top of the arm.
Ive never heard it been done in your bum.
Dont worry you will be fine, if you have any worries please speak to the person providing you with the injection in order for your mind to be put to rest.
Hope i helped and good luck

The preferred site is the deltoid area of the upper arm or in the higher anterolateral area of the thigh.

Generally in the deltoid region of the upper arm (Intramuscular). It can be given in the higher anterolateral area of the thigh too.

Arm dear :)
