1. An intramuscular auto-injector comprising:
a contact surface contoured to fit a body surface;
a storage state having a low-profile perpendicular to said contact surface wherein a height of the injector perpendicular to said contact surface in the storage state is less than ½ a width of said contact surface;
a cover protecting said contact surface; and
a priming mechanism coupled to said cover wherein removal of said cover activates said priming mechanism, for priming the injector from said storage state to a primed configuration, and wherein a height of the injector in the primed state measured perpendicular to the contact surface is greater than the height of the injector in the storage state measured perpendicular to the contact surface.
