Into the muscle......if you give it just in the skin..you will get a swelling the size of Mount Rushmore...and besides the B12 absorbs faster in the muscle

Most individuals with pernicious anemia need parenteral (deep subcutaneous) injections (shots) of vitamin B12 as initial therapy to replenish depleted body stores of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 body stores can then be managed by a daily oral supplement of vitamin B12. A physician will manage the treatment required to maintain the vitamin B12 status of individuals with pernicious anemia.

Diabetics give themselves shots in the fatty skin...leg or stomach. Muscle hurts a lot more.
