Injecting air into the bloodstream can be fatal, but the amount required to cause death varies. As little as 20 milliliters of air can potentially lead to an air embolism, which can obstruct blood flow and result in serious complications or death. However, individual tolerance can vary based on several factors, including the person's health and the speed of injection. It's essential to avoid any form of injection that is not medically supervised.

Why are vaccinations injected into the muscle as opposed to the vein?

Vaccinations are injected into the muscle to slow down its distribution to the body's tissues. If it were administered directly in a vein, it would reach every part of the body much too quickly and thus has the potential to incite an overly strong immune response. By placing it in the muscle, only small amounts of the vaccine are transferred into the blood stream at a time, dampening the immune response. The purpose of a vaccine is to develop antibodies against a particular antigen (usually viruses) so that your body can fight it off if exposed to it in the future. You don't actually need a full blown immune response to do this, just development of the correct immune cells. So by injecting into the muscle instead of a vein, you are saving yourself from pain, inflammation, or even shock.
