Mostly they give shots for immunizations.

Asthmatics do not require IM injections at all. There are wonderful inhalers, syrups and tablets. If it is dry cough, again, there is no need for shots; if expectoration is there, you have wonderful medicines and home remedies. If you have allergy due to unknown substances, don't be worried about needles, theere will be absolutely painless subdermal shots with minimal antigens to find out what causes allergy. You need to psychologically boost your self. That is all

Shots are usually reserved for more serious cases, when compliance may be an issue, when a needed drug is only available in injection form, or when it is the most efficient way to treat a patient. There are ususally oral alternatives for asthma and routine infections. So, go to the MD post haste and fear not.

Shots are given when 1)Some medicines don`t work when orally administered and 2) When action is needed urgently.

Well, they give shots for all sorts of things. You may not be in the shot category.

We need neither needles nor shots. I think they must be putting Potassium Ferro Cyanide (KCN) so whoever is alive and well may be eliminated ASAP.
