Hi,

It is not impossible. It mainly depends on the pattern of your shots. Are you in MD? I have a patient who gets the shot whimsically, now and then. It does NOT protect that way.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
