Yes Mandy, I got the three shots over a period of time with the first two shots in the arm, which I didn't mind at all. Then yesturday, I got a shocked of my life, the third shot went in my butt, not exspected it there, I had on a nice sweater and skirt otherwise I wear long pants so I wouldn't be naked from waist down if this is a butt shot. Like I said, wasn't ready for this shot and a male nurse was given this injection. I sure cried after it was given. My mother thought it was funny, not me? Sherry

For those who've received their ijections in their buttocks, were your vitals signs taken prior to the shots? If you were told or knew you were getting them in your buttocks, did you also get your temperature taken rectally, as you were most likely if laying down awaiting your injections, in a position for a rectal temperature?

They weren't happy about that at all. Their friends had similar experiences getting one or more of the shots in their bottoms. Sorry. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I had two young girls come into our office the other day for their gardasil shots. The first girl was a 17 year old who came in with her mom. She had on a sweatshirt, pair of blue jean shorts and knee high boots. Her mom was dressed the same way. I drew up the injection and then turned to her and said okay Dana you need to lower your jeans and bend over the end of the table. She unsnapped her jeans and leaned over the table and I pulled them don below her hips. Her round little white butt cheeks were fully exposed with her tiny green thong she was wearing. I told her to flex her right leg and as soon as she did poked her in the right hip and gave her the injection. I pulled out the needle and rubbed her right hip and put a bandaid on it. She had a few tears in her eyes. I said one down two more to go. The second girl was wearing a very short flowery dress with a apir of boots. I drew up her injection and told her to lean over the table telling her I would be giving the injection in her bottom. She told her mom I want it in my arm. her mom told her to bend over and be a big girl. I flipped up her dress. She had on a tiny pair of red panties that barely covered her butt cheeks. I pulled them down to mid thigh. She had a dimple in each of her butt cheeks. I swabbed the alcohol pad across her left cheek. I pinched some of her muscle and then quickly darted her in the butt with the 20g needle causing her to scream and by the time I finished the injection. She stood up holding both of butt cheeks. I put a bandaid on the site and gave her an ice pack which I placed on her hip for 5 minutes. I told her she would need two shots and both of them would be going in her butt. She apoligized and asked if I could give her the next two and I said I would.
