Usually the determining factors in where a nurse puts a needle is (A) volume being injected, (B) how irritating the substance is and (C) the muscle mass of the arm vs the gluteal region. Patient preference is considered too; I elect for all injections to be in my butt. The worst pain I had was an injection into my eye socket to numb it before a laser treatment. Then they didn't get it numb enough so I felt all of the laser hits.

I grew up in ussr in 70s. All kids got the shots at school. I remember in each academic year we had at least 1, sometimes 2 or 3 shots. Almost all of them were given in the buts except a few jabs such as smallpox and Mantu reaction. I can't be sure all of the shots were vaccinations. I think some of them were gammaglobulin which is not a vaccine technically speaking. I hated those days when when we were called to the school medical office where a school nurse gave us shots. The shots did hurt and there was no privacy at all during the procedure.
