AD syringes are recommended for immunization programmes because they are designed to prevent re-use by locking automatically after a single use. They are the best way of ensuring that people receive their shots safely, without a risk of contracting an infection due to contaminated needles.

Intramuscular injections are administered at a 90-degree angle to the skin, preferably into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh or the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, depending on the age of the patient (Table 6-2). The needle gauge for intramuscular injection is 22-25 gauge.

Dilution of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine: The ancillary kits provide 1 mL, 3 mL, or 5 mL syringes and needles that range from 22 to 25 gauge and needles that are 1 to 1.5 inches in length. The 3 mL and 5 mL syringes should be used for diluting the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine only.

Depending on the vaccine dose, health professionals should use a 1 mL or 3 mL syringe.

Administration should be performed using the 1 mL syringes whenever possible. The 3 mL and 5 mL syringes should be used for diluting the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine only. Smaller-gauge needles (i.e., larger thickness) or blunt-tip needles should also be used for diluting vaccine.

Depending on the vaccine dose, health professionals should use a 1 mL or 3 mL syringe.

Only in pre-term or very small infants is a 16mm needle suitable for IM injection. In larger adults, a longer length (e.g. 38mm) may be required, and an individual assessment should be made (Poland et al., 1997, Zuckerman, 2000). Intradermal injections should only be administered using a 26G, 10mm (brown) needle.

Use a 23–25 gauge needle.

Use a 22–25 gauge needle. Choose the injection site and needle length that is appropriate to the person's age and body mass.

Needle length is usually 1"–1½", 22–25 gauge, but a longer or shorter needle may be needed depending on the patient's weight. Note: An alternate site for IM injection in adults is the anterolateral thigh muscle.
