Intradermal Injection

An intradermal injection injects medication into the dermal layer of the skin just below the epidermis. It is commonly used for allergy and tuberculosis tests as well as vaccinations. The medication is injected at a 5 degree angle and forms a raised wheal or bubble under the skin of approximately 0.1 ml. Proper technique requires sterilizing the injection site, inserting the needle bevel up at a 5 degree angle to the desired depth, injecting 0.1 ml of medication, and not massaging the area afterwards.
