intradermal injection is a needle that you inject just under the skin, (epidermis.....hence the name dermal) Think of how a TB test is done, the injection is given just below the skins surface, unlike most injections that are done intramuscular (deep into the muscle)

Injections are typically given subq or IM .. subq is just under the skin and IM is inter-muscular
