How to giving a shot

1. Wash your hands
Wash your hands with soap and warm water to prevent potential infection. Be sure to
thoroughly scrub between fingers, on the backs of hands, and under fingernails.
2. Gather all needed supplies
Assemble the following supplies:
a. needle and syringe with medication
b. alcohol pads
c. gauze
d. puncture-resistant container to discard the used needles and syringe
e. bandages
f. handscoon and mask
3. Locate injection site
To isolate the muscle and target where you’ll place the injection, spread the skin at the
injection site between two fingers. The person receiving the injection should get into a
position that’s comfortable, provides easy access to the location, and keeps the muscles
relaxed.
4. Clean injection site
Clean the site selected for injection with an alcohol swab and allow the skin to air dry.
5. Prepare syringe with medication
 Remove the cap. If the vial or pen is multi-dose, take a note about when the vial was
first opened. The rubber stopper should be cleaned with an alcohol swab.
6. Inject the medication
Push the plunger slowly to inject the medication into the muscle.
7. Remove the needle
Withdraw the needle quickly and discard it into a puncture-resistant sharps container.
Don’t recap the needle.
8. Apply pressure to the injection site
Use a piece of gauze to apply light pressure to the injection site. You can even massage
the area to help the medicine be absorbed into the muscle. It’s normal to see slight
bleeding. Use a bandage if necessary.
