Intramuscular injections are commonly used to administer vaccines and medications directly into the muscle tissue for faster absorption. For example, a healthcare professional might give a flu vaccine intramuscularly in the upper arm. This method can provide a more rapid onset of action compared to subcutaneous injections. Moreover, intramuscular injections can accommodate larger volumes of medication than other routes.
