The flu vaccine comes in a nasal inhalation and in a hypodermic injection.
Hypodermic is of or relating to the region immediately beneath the skin or a hypodermic syringe or injection.
A subcutaneous injection is also known as a subQ or SC injection.
Hypodermic.
An intradermal injection is made into the middle layers of the skin.
The nurse carefully prepared the hypodermic syringe before administering the vaccine. After the doctor explained the procedure, I felt more at ease about the hypodermic injection. Hypodermic needles are designed to deliver medication directly into the body.
An "hypodermic injection" or in the US a "shot".
Ampule
Commonly, an injection given into the adipose issue is considered a "subcutaneous" injection. If it were given in a muscle, such as the flu shot, it would be "intramuscular" and if into the very thin dermal layer of the skin, such as with a TB test, it would be 'intradermal"
Because the medication works its way through your fat tissue and then into your bloodstream!
Subcutaneous injection can be given below the skin.. Intradermal injection can be given in-between the skin and base of the hair
