A member asked:
If you inject in correct place for deltoid can you hit an artery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
An Experienced injector should not hit any Artery, also depend on the length of the needle. I do not advise to self injections in the area. Only self injections are for Insulin which has very small needles.
