They make it idiot proof these days. You clear any obvious air bubbles and then dump the entire syringe. Air bubbles are less of a concern with vaccines because they are injected into muscle and not directly into a blood vessel.
Thats because it takes approximately 10cc or mls of air to cauze problems. There is actually a thing called a bubble study where 2cc of air mixed with saline and mixed until its a bunch of smaller bubbles and is quickly injected into the blood stream. Tbey watch it go to the heart under ultrasound. Kinda neat

I've had IVs before and watched bubbles go into my vein. Nothing happened.

I don't know, it's was quite a bit of large bubbles that went through the line when they changed the bag.
