There are many types of injections, which are named after the different body tissues to which it is administered into. For example, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intracardiac, intraosseous, intraarticular and intravenous injections. 95 per cent of injections are administered as curative care, 3 per cent are used for providing vaccinations and the rest for other purposes like a blood transfusion.

There are three main types of injections according to the manufacturing process, time taken to effect and the liquidity of the injection. These three types are subcutaneous, intramuscular and intravenous injections. Among these, only intramuscular injections are recommended for self administration as the others require the help of a medical professional.
There are some specific sites for pushing an intramuscular injection. This injection is injected deep into a muscle.
