The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Generally, babies receive vaccines in the front-outer part of the thigh muscle (the middle and upper front-outer area). For children who have begun walking, the shoulder's deltoid muscle can be used instead. The correct area ensures the needle reaches muscle and reduces the risk of nerve or blood vessel damage. The healthcare worker decides which vaccine goes where.
