Whether it was a shot or a rectal temperature regardless of age, most of the time, I was on my stomach, and my pants and underpants had been lowered to just behind my knees. I once got a RT while bent over the front of an exam table, followed by an injection in my left cheek. Pants/underpants were around my ankles, simply because I was partially standing and they, upon being loosened/lowered continues to drop on their own. That was the only time when I wasn't face down for either the temperature taking or shot(s)
Oh, the only other time where it was different for shots, was when as a kid I got the Pasteur treatment! I was on my back, my pants lowered to my upper thighs, and my shirt lifted up, and depending where the previous day's injection had been given, I might have had my underpants slightly lowered so my lower abdomen could be accessed used as an injection site. Rabies shots, circa 1960s were not pleasant!
