1. A device for self-administration of a fluid to a target location, the device comprising:
a) a fluid delivery package having a reservoir including one or more apertures;
b) an actuator positioned adjacent the reservoir to act on the reservoir to eject fluid therefrom through the one or more apertures, the fluid being ejected towards the target location with a delivery time less than 150 ms; and
c) a concave mirror disposed downstream of the one or more apertures and having an opening through which the fluid ejected from the one or more apertures is directed, the concave mirror provided with a design to enable self-alignment of the device with the target location when an image of the target location is in focus and is centered in the concave mirror,
wherein the device further includes a housing, wherein the housing comprises a cover, and wherein the cover is configurable between an open position, in which the one or more apertures are exposed, and a closed position, in which the one or more apertures are not exposed, and wherein movement of the cover from the closed to the open position transitions the actuator from an inactive to active state.
