Intramuscular injections are not something that you should attempt to learn without proper instruction and supervision from a qualified instructor. If there is a medical reason, your doctor may teach you how to preform injections on yourself or one of your dependents. It is not something to try after only reading about it.

Injections just under the skin, so that you can see the needle while the medication is injected, are referred to as Intradermal. The PPD test for tuberculosis is administered this way.
