73. First, it doesn't go into your veins

It's an IM shot that goes into muscle and is absorbed slowly through capillaries in the muscle tissue. We check to make sure we haven't stuck a vein before we push that plunger in.

In the second place, the dose you are getting is infinitesimal, smaller than the preservative that was in conctact with your sclera when you were wearing contacts.

However, if you're that paranoid about it, by all means ask for the nasal flu vaccine if you're in a high risk group. Getting the vaccine can save your life.
