Do B12 Shots cause abcess??

I saw a nurse today for my monthly B12 shot. She said that the shot is not absorbed through the deltoid (Upper arm). I told her that I have been getting them there for the last 19 months with perfect lab results. Then she said, "well today you are getting it on the hip". I said "oh no I'm not". She then told me that I would develop an abcess from the shots. I alternate arms every month. Next time she comes out to give me my shot I will ask for someone else. I have an HMO.
