I had an injection = I was given an injection

However, you would not use it often in the present. You could say \"I have an injection every day\", for example.

57 mins confidence:

administer an injection / receive an injection

Explanation:
The more correct translation is "receive" and "administer":

1. fare un'iniezione: administer an injection

2. farsi fare....: receive an injection

I understand that you are interested in the use of "have an injection"; yes, I have found references on line. However, I would use "have an injection" only if the style is completely conversational.
