Just because you didn't know something doesn't mean it is new.
"Vaccine providers, particularly when vaccinating adolescents, should consider observing patients (with patients seated or lying down) for 15 minutes after vaccination to decrease the risk for injury should they faint"

Huh. The Veterans Administration and Mission Hospital really should know that. Also CVS.
Again, I've received lots of vaccinations for many types of vaccines for years; at the hospital, in a doctor's private office, and at a corporate pharmacy. And never once has any doctor or nurse or medical organization told me to stay seated and be observed for 15 minutes after the shot. It just doesn't happen.
