The lasting effects of a vitamin B12 injection depends on several factors.

Lifestyle Choices

If a person regularly consumes alcohol, the body will likely use more vitamin B12. This means the person benefits from taking additional B12. That said, B12 is also reported to help speed up hangover recovery. 

Several studies have found that how long B12 remains in the system can depend on underlying factors such as tendencies towards developing certain diseases and lifestyle choices. These can include diet, drinking, medications, drug use, etc. Vitamin B12 stays in the body for different amounts of time.

Liver Issues

Those who suffer from liver disorders are often unable to store B12. If suffering from a liver disorder, they’re most likely to be prescribed and benefit from regularly taking vitamin B12 injections. 50% of the body’s storage of vitamin B12 is kept within the liver, no matter how it is administered, so if the liver is sick, in all likelihood, a person can suffer B12 deficiency.

On the other hand, excess vitamin B12 is expelled through urine, so there is little need to feel uneasy about injecting too much B12.

Vitamin B12 is essential for sustaining healthy red blood cells and nerve cells and converting food into energy. In most cases, vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms may include extreme tiredness, poor concentration, memory loss, dizziness, and disorientation.

However, there are many unusual symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, and most will disappear after taking vitamin B12 long enough to get the stores up to a normal amount and have maintained stable levels of vitamin B12.
