If your diet consists primarily of plant-based foods like fruits, veggies, beans, and meat substitutes- as many vegetarian or vegan diets do, then you will be at risk for B12 deficiency
When administered by a trained healthcare professional, B12 injections are widely used in UK medical practice and are generally considered safe
Still, any time you put a needle in your arm or glute (common injection sites), theres a risk of some swelling at the site
