The proper places for injection depend on what you are tying to inject. Some things need to injected into fat, others into muscle, others into the skin, and others into the circulation. Some common injection sites for intramuscular injections are the deltoid muscle (upper arm) or the quadriceps (thigh). Some common injection sites for adipose (fat) injections are the buttocks or into the belly. But in anyone who is going to self-administer injections, it is important that they are first trained by either a doctor or nurse to do it properly and to learn the anatomy of the particular place they are going to inject into because it is easy to accidentally hit a nerve or blood vessel unintentionally which could be dangerous.

It is given by IM (intramuscular) injection in the recommended site of the deltoid muscle (upper arm), ideally using a one to one and a half inch long 22 or 25 gauge needle. The site should be prepped with alcohol. The vaccine may need to be shaken before use if there is any cloudiness or precipitates in the mixture. It should be stored in the refrigerator.
