Administration of unnecessary Intramuscular (i.m.) Injections to infants for trivial illness is a common problem. This descriptive study included 120 infants who received at least one i.m. injection for their current illness. Data were collected using semi structured questionnaire to their mothers. 91% of infants received unnecessary i.m. injections for minor problems like upper respiratory tract infection. I.m. injections were administered at the wrong site in 97% of the infants. Information regarding i.m. injections was inadequate in mothers. Intensive health education regarding safe injection practices for the public and health care providers is essential.
