Recently, I learned that certain organizations such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), do not recommend aspiration after injection of vaccines. That was a hard pill to swallow since learning in my nursing school many years ago that you must aspirate with all intramuscular injections. I read this PowerPoint, and I would like for you to read it as well. It presents the pros and cons, as well as evidenced based research pertaining to aspiration. Mind you it is important to read this PowerPoint carefully. While the CDC does not recommend aspiration on vaccines, is not the same for not aspirating on other intramuscular injections were medication is involved.
Proceed with caution and come to your own conclusion. Follow you institutions guideline on proper intramuscular injections.
