It is given as a series of three injections over 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>It is currently recommended for 11 and 12 year-old girls, as well as girls and women age 13 through 26 who have not yet been vaccinated or completed the vaccine series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Begin by washing your hands and putting on protective gloves.<\/p>\n<p>Open the box and remove the vial. Check to make sure it is the correct vaccine, with a unit dose of 0.5 ml.<\/p>\n<p>Check the lot number and write it down.<\/p>\n<p>Check the expiration date and write it down.<\/p>\n<p>Inspect the contents of the vial. It should be clear, colorless, and without sediment. The rubber stopper should be smooth, without defects or leaks.<\/p>\n<p>The box also contains detailed directions. You should read the directions carefully if you are not familiar with this procedure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>The syringe used for this procedure should be an appropriate size for the 0.5 ml dose. A 3 cc syringe works well.<\/p>\n<p>The 20 to 22 gauge needle should be one inch to one and one-half inch in length.<\/p>\n<p>Cleanse the rubber stopper with an antiseptic such as alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Draw 0.5 ml of air into the assembled needle and syringe.<\/p>\n<p>Insert the needle straight down into the vial.<\/p>\n<p>Inject the vial with 0.5 ml of air. Don\u2019t over-inject or the air pressure may create leaks in the vial.<\/p>\n<p>Invert the vial so air won\u2019t get into your syringe.<\/p>\n<p>Clear any air from the syringe and adjust the dose to exactly 0.5 ml.<\/p>\n<p>Withdraw the needle and if you are not going to immediately administer the vaccine, safely recap the needle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>This intramuscular injection is usually given in the deltoid muscle of the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The deltoid muscle is shaped like an upside down triangle. The best injection site is in the center of the muscle, usually about 3 finger breadths below the shoulder joint.<\/p>\n<p>Other possible injection sites include the upper outer quadrant of the gluteus maximus muscle of the buttocks, or the vastus lateralis muscle of the anterior-lateral thigh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Cleanse the skin with a disinfectant such as alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>A gentle finger flick before injection helps block some of the sensory nerves from the site and will reduce the discomfort of the needle insertion.<\/p>\n<p>Use your non-dominant thumb and forefinger to support the muscle. Holding the syringe like a dart, insert the needle directly into the muscle.<\/p>\n<p>Use a smooth, rapid technique to minimize patient discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Aspirate to make sure your needle is not in a blood vessel. Then slowly inject the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>After removing the needle, wipe away any blood from the injection site and cover with a bandaid.<\/p>\n<p>Localized, mild to moderate pain at the injection site is common in the first few days following injection. Redness and swelling are less common. Serious side effects are rare.<\/p>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":71,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-203","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":635,"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/203\/revisions\/635"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/71"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
