Q: is my covid vaccine still effective if some liquid leaked out after needle was removed? needle was put in deep with skin flat. concerned about effectiveness of 2nd dose?

: The vaccination received in the 2nd dose, was probable effective. This is correct because the injection was into the muscle, not the superficial skin.

Agree with Dr. Bodell. The vaccine is injected into upper arm muscle, a few drops less will not make it ineffective.
