I was given Gardasil 4 on bum area. I have read online that it's generally given on upper arm.
Can anyone tell me the buttock area safe?
Whats the difference between giving it on arms and on bum?

Gardasil 4 should be given on deltoid or anterolateral aspect of thigh but not on buttock
Deltoid and anterolateral aspect has more muscle mass and better absorption of drug
Buttock more fat and less muscle so absorption also less
