My daughter had just one of those shots.... *OUCH!* The needle is huge and the bolus is large. I liked the idea of bypassing the gut when giving abx, but just can't see being able to do that once/month with my daughter. Also, my daughter tested positive for strep just 12 days after the shot (which was supposed to be a 10 day supply). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
