Yes, you can. Any large muscle, such as the upper arm, outer thigh, or gluteus maximus (buttocks) can be used for the intramuscular injections of flu vaccines.
However, many people avoid this location for flu shots since the site can be tender and muscles sore for some time after the injection due to local reaction to the injected vaccine. It is easier to avoid hurting the site of injection when it is in the arm instead of the buttocks that could be uncomfortable sitting down.

∙ 11y agotetanus shots are given intramuscularly. its can be given on arm, buttock and thigh. it is best to be given on arms bcos after injection ther will be a lot ofpain for few days.. it vl be hard to move.. and also its more safe. it is always better to avoid buttock area bcos it can cause damage to sciatic nerve also the pain can cause difficulty in walking, siting etc. for smaller children below the age of 5-6 , its given in thigh bcos their arms doesnt have enough flesh.
so in short best site for tetanus shot is : arm for adults and thigh for children.
