For the 2012-2013 flu season there are three formulations, the two prior types of nasal mist and intramuscular (IM) formulations, and now, new in the 2011-2012 flu season, there is an intradermal (ID) formulation.
Intramuscular Injections:
Any one cc syringe for IM (intramuscular) injections is good to use. For IM, you need a needle that is one to one and a half inches long and, typically, a 25 gauge needle is used.
Intradermal Injections:
Fluzone Intradermal vaccine comes in a new prefilled single dose syringe as part of the microinjection system designed to consistently deposit vaccine antigens into the dermal layer of the skin of adults for inoculation.
Typically, in the past adult influenza parenteral vaccines were administered into the muscle utilizing a needle 1 inch to 1.5 inches (25 mm to 38 mm) in length as mentioned above. Fluzone Intradermal vaccine features an ultra-fine needle that is 0.06 inches (1.5 mm) in length. The needle is 90% shorter than a needle for IM injection and much more fine. See related questions for more information about intradermal flu vaccinations.
