For a flu shot, a 1 mL syringe is typically used, often with a 22-25 gauge needle that is 1 to 1.5 inches long, depending on the patient's age and body composition. It's essential to use a syringe that is designed for intramuscular injections to ensure proper delivery of the vaccine. Always follow local guidelines and protocols for vaccination to ensure safety and effectiveness.
