Step 12: Choose an injection site and

wipe the skin with an alcohol wipe (See

Figures P and Q). Let the injection site

dry before injecting the dose.



Do not touch this area again before

giving the injection.

Step 13: Pull the protective cover

straight off the needle (See Figure R).

Do not twist the cover off.

Step 14: With 1 hand, stretch the skin

out around the injection site. With the

other hand, hold the syringe like a

pencil. Use a quick dart-like motion and

insert the needle at a 90º angle, through

the skin and into the muscle (See Figure

S). Once the needle is in, let go of the

skin.

Step 15: Make sure that you push the

plunger all the way down until it touches

the collar (See Figure T).

Step 16: Pull the needle out of the

skin (See Figure U). Press down on

the injection site with the gauze pad

for a few seconds or rub gently in a

circular motion.



If you see blood after you press

the injection site for a few

seconds, wipe it off with gauze

and apply an adhesive bandage.
