When getting the next Flu shot, consider the possibility of an intradermal option.…

The city of Seattle is trying to acknowledge situation and trying to fix it with safe injections sites.

Throughout this group project I have learned a lot about birth control that I did not know before. Being a woman in our society that has access to reproductive health information from my doctor, I never thought of birth control as hard to obtain or learn about. After researching about the different types of birth control and their histories I was able to learn that access to birth control has not always been easy. There are many types of birth controls that people do not know about or just do not consider to be “birth control.” Researching about these types of birth control allows me to have more knowledge on something that all women and men should know.…
