TT, or tetanus toxoid, is not given in the hand. The provided references indicate that Td (tetanus and diphtheria toxoid) and other tetanus-containing vaccines are administered intramuscularly.
Vaccine Administration Sites
- The preferred injection site for adults is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.
- For small children, the anterolateral aspect of the thigh is preferred.
The references explicitly state the injection sites in the arm and thigh, but do not mention hand administration. Therefore, the question needs clarification as to whether it refers to Td or a different vaccine. For all the vaccines mentioned, hand administration is not indicated.
