    Yes, you always need to aspirate for IM injections. If you can't tell a difference in the color of b12 and blood then look for a change in volume.

    OK, but blood is red & so is the b-12. i guess what ur telling me is that the blood might appear to look darker if it entered the vial & the texture in the vial will change.

    Always, always, always aspirate . Just look for bubbles dude. Bubbles...inject...no bubbles....don't inject.
