That doesn't sound good! I prefer pharmacies around here to give any shots needed. The pharmacist is the person who gives the shots, and the different locations I have gone to, some in the same chain, some not, have all been excellent.
At PCP's, not so much, not sure what their qualifications are, some I would question any real medical training. At one I quickly decided NOT to get a shot, as the person was really dithery, seemed just existing was drawing on all her brainpower, and she was the "nurse". And she tried over and over to log into the PC in the room, and this was a real small practice. I wondered by her actions when I was there about dementia. Never know in advance WHO is going to do the jabbing! So it's pharmacies for me, but of course, conditions are local!
When we went to our local pharmacy recently, they had an LPN there to give the new booster shots (at least, that's what her name tag said). Other times in the past, it has been the pharmacist. I could not detect any difference in the technique.
