What's the difference between taking B12 orally and having it injected?

I've noticed on this site that there are quite a few people who mention that they take B12 daily or weekly. I was told that I would have to give myself B12 injections monthly for the rest of my life. If there's something I'm missing and I don't need to stick myself with a needle every month, someone please fill me in.
