NLN Highlight on COVID-19 Vaccination Injection Site Thigh Is an Alternative | | It is encouraging that more and more people are getting vaccinated and becoming protected against COVID-19. We have received many inquiries regarding the injection site. We would like to point out that according to the CDC, the thigh is an alternative injection site. You can find this in small print on the right lower corner of page one of the guidelines for both Moderna and Pfizer. This is applicable for people who have lymphedema and/or lymphedema risk in both arms. | | | Update from a Collaborating Partner Venous Symposium | |
