I would seriously question this method. No injections should be done near the collar bone, especially in children. There are a very few exceptions but these are typically cortisone injections (or similar to) and used for injury.
Depending on the age and weight of the child, injections should be given in the deltoids region (the upper part of the arm, below the shoulder and well above the elbow) or in the thigh.

THe flu shot needs to be innermuscular. The absorbtion rate is slow, so the body has time to respond to the introduction of the incomplete virus. There is also a flu vaccine that inters through the mucosa and it is snorted. A technique that can be used, but I'm not sure it is, is pressurized air. The trapezius would not be a large enough muscle for the shot.

Unless they are putting into their trapezius muscle, I don't know. I thought the flu shot was a deep tissue shot and typically given in the back of the arm. It does NOT get shot into any bones.

It's where the government wants the microchip they are implanting.
