A vial filling system for a needle-less injector, the system including an adaptor (70). The adaptor (70) has a housing including a top and a side wall extending downwardly from the top. A recess (72) is disposed in the side wall of the adaptor for receiving a vial. The vial (18) has an inner cavity for receiving a liquid formulation. An inlet opening (80) is located in the top of the adaptor, wherein when the vial is inserted into the recess the inlet opening is aligned with a nozzle of the vial. A needle (82) extends from the top of the housing and in communication with the inlet opening. The needle is constructed and arranged to pierce a container of liquid formulation. A plunger (38) is movably disposed within the cavity of vial for drawing the liquid formulation from the container into the cavity of the vial.
