Vaccine administration : a guide to selecting needle gauge and length.: HP40-353/2024E-PDF
"Selection of the right needle should be based on the route, recipient’s factors (e.g., age, muscle mass), and vaccine properties. This is to optimize the immune response and reduce the risk of injection site reactions ... The use of safety-engineered needles and syringes (e.g., protected needle devices) is preferred and, in many jurisdictions, mandated by law to reduce risk of injury"--Page [1].
