I told people who had doctors who were “pro-booster” to have them take the shot in the trapezius muscle region because if the shot was localized they wouldn’t have to worry about after effects. I have yet to meet a doctor willing to do it.
Intramuscular injection sites such as the deltoid and the glutes were historically chosen because it could generally be relied upon that there wasn't anything of import that could be damaged such as an artery or a major nerve.
You can theoretically inject into any muscle but you likely won't find any nurse or doctor willing to inject the neck or back muscles because at that point you are just stabbing around in the dark, along with contravening tradition and best practices.

For a layman, what's special about injecting there?
If the injection is “leaky” or travels beyond the injected area then it has easier access to two locations, the heart and the blood brain barrier.
