For horses, yes. Most vaccinations are given in the neck for horses. Mine never give any trouble at all when I give injections in the neck. Don't thump if giving the injection in the neck. The needle for neck injections should only be about 1" and a small diameter, generally a 22 or 20. Most horse vaccinations are small in quantity, only a couple of cc's.
Injections given in the hip area are for heavier, thicker medications in much larger quantities, such as penicillin.
Remove the needle from the syringe, thump the area a couple of times, if the horse will tolerate that, and insert the needle quickly. Count to 2, if any blood comes out, remove and dispose of the needle. Get a fresh needle, repeat the above and insert in a new location. Again, count to 2, if no blood, attach syringe. Pull back on the plunger (a second check to make sure you have not hit a vein or artery). If no blood, inject the medication.
As you remove the syringe & needle, place your finger over the injection site and press for a few seconds. When giving large quantities of medication (20+cc's) if you don't cover the injection site for a few seconds, the medication can ooze out.
