Injections hurt, but vaccines hurt more. The vaccines are putting antibodies into your blood stream, so the pain is your immune system reacting to those antibodies straight away. Injections may be for anything, whether taking out substance or putting substance in. But vaccines definitely hurt much more.Hope this helps!

Why do vaccines vary in effectiveness?

Well , if you mean why do some hurt more or less than others I can help you. My high school is going to get the A(H1N1) flu shot this Friday and some people faint because of how scared they can be of getting a shot The reason the pain varies is because some shots have a stronger liquid than others and for some vaccines you are less stressed. More : A shot is not meant to hurt , they are there to protect you and no one finds it pleasant but it's life and there are many things that can happen that hurt more than a vaccine.


Why are intramuscular injections more painful than subcutaneous injections?

Usually, the vehicle used for a intramuscular drug contains oil or a "fatty liquid". The amount of liquid injected is generally bigger in an IM injection and the drug might also be more irritative. The nail used is generally bigger and longer. For these reasons, almost all IM injections are more painful than SC injections.

Why do some injections hurt more than others in relation to the skin levels?

Injections that hurt more could be due to factors such as the thickness of the needle, the amount of tissue the needle has to pass through, the type of medication being injected (some are more acidic or viscous), and the skill of the person administering the injection. Additionally, individual pain tolerance and nerve sensitivity can also play a role in how painful an injection feels.
