Vit B 12 is a water soluble vitamin. If your father has Vit B12 deficiency then only he will benefit from Vit B12 therapy. Otherwise whenever you will give him injections, the body will eliminate the vitamin through urine. So in totality, apart from subjecting your father to the pain of the injection - you will be doing nothing!
