For administering the pneumonia vaccine, a 22-25 gauge needle is commonly recommended, with a length of 1 to 1.5 inches for intramuscular injections. The specific size may vary depending on the patient's age and body mass. It's important to ensure proper technique and site selection to achieve optimal vaccine delivery.
