Flu Shot

Went in for my annual flu shot this am. The cute young nurse that gave me the shot was talking and after she wiped my arm with alcohol....she put a round band-aid with a clear window on it and then stuck the needle thru the clear part. There was a line of people waiting, so I didn't ask her about it.

I just googled it and found out this....
"The bandage is circular, with an adhesive membrane. A nurse cleans the patient’s arm, applies the Barrier Bandage, and then administers the shot right through the bandage. It then acts immediately as a band-aid to catch and conceal any fluids from the broken skin."

First time I've heard of it.
