Vibration and Shotblocker Use in Pregnant Women While Giving Tetanus + Diphtheria Vaccine

Before the injection, local mechanical vibration will be applied for 3 minutes with a vibration device to the deltoid muscle where the injection will be made, and then the vaccine will be given. The vibration device to be used is suitable for contact with the skin and provides 6000 rotations per minute with vibration.

It is a U-shaped device with skin contact points on the shotblocker and an opening in the middle for injection (Tugrul, Celik, and Khorshid 2017). The Shotblocker will be placed on the skin surface just before inserting the needle and gently pressed with the fingertips, and the vaccine will be administered immediately afterwards. After removing the needle, the shotblocker will be removed.
