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.
The needle should be inserted at an angle of about 15 to 30 degrees to the skin for most intramuscular injections. For subcutaneous injections, a 45 to 90-degree angle is typically recommended, depending on the amount of subcutaneous fat present. Proper angle helps ensure that the medication is delivered to the correct tissue layer. Always follow specific guidelines based on the injection type and site.
