Sub-q injections are injections given under the skin into the fatty layer of tissue. They are commonly used for medications that are absorbed slowly, such as insulin and vaccines. The injection is given using a small needle at a 45- or 90-degree angle into the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh. It is important to use proper injection techniques, including using a clean needle and disposing of used needles properly.
