Learn about your body's very own "immune cell school" and why it matters which arm you get your booster vaccine in.

This could change the arm you get vaccinated - ABC listen
When going to get vaccinated, you're often asked which arm you'd prefer to be jabbed.
Most people pick their least dominant arm so the pain from the injection site bothers them less.
A new finding...

Why does the arm you choose for a vaccine matter? 🩹
New research from Garvan and the Kirby Institute shows that receiving a booster in the same arm as the initial dose can lead to a quicker, stronger immune response.
