  1. Go see doctor


  2. As a rule they prefer to give immunizations of all sorts in the muscle of the upper arm.  Alternate sites can include the thighs and yes, the buttocks- but those are not the first choice sites.  Just as you would rather not bare your buns, we'd rather not see them if we don't have to.  Only a few injections are given in the buttock, usually because the amount of medication is large or can be painful.  Infants and small children usually get them in the leg- anyone over about 3 gets them in the arm.

  3. Yes, it's in the arm.
