Anytime you insert a needle into someones body, unless it's in an autoinjector, to give them a medication of some sort, you need to aspirate for blood. That is an important key in giving vaccines because anytime there is blood, you've hit an artery or vein and the medication should not be injected. Especially in a SQ, if you see blood, you're definitely not doing it correctly. In a SQ, it's fatty tissue, separate from veins and arteries. Aspirating is a good thing!

Why antirabies injection given subcutaneous earlier and now intramascularly?
The new protocol for post-exposure rabies vaccination is because the vaccine itself has been updated and modified. Before, persons who are suspected of being exposed to rabies received numerous subcutaneous shots (usually over the stomach area) because that was the most effective route of administration for the vaccine. The new vaccine takes only five shots and can be given in the muscle while still working just fine.
