If the injection is to be given in the 'awrah (private parts), it is not permissible to do so unless there is a legitimate need, and the general rule is that a man should administer it. However, if there is no need for it, such as when he can administer the injection himself, then neither a man nor a woman should administer it. If the injection is to be given in a place other than the 'awrah, there is no harm in administering it to him.
