Does weight affect needle size for the COVID-19 vaccine? VERIFY

Several social media posts claim if you are over 200 pounds and are getting a vaccine like the COVID-19 vaccine, you actually need a bigger needle for the vaccine to be effective. But is this true?

The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has faded, but there are still hundreds of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths in the U.S. each week. That’s why the CDC endorsed new COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 6 months and older. The shots became available nationwide in September.

THE QUESTION
If you are over a certain weight, you need a 1.5-inch needle and not a standard 1-inch needle for some vaccines.

THE ANSWER
Yes, if you are over a certain weight, you need a 1.5-inch needle and not a standard 1-inch needle for some vaccines.

WHAT WE FOUND
The CDC has a list of recommendations for how long the needle should be for administering a vaccine, depending on your age and weight. For women who weigh more than 200 pounds or men who weigh more than 260 pounds, a 1.5-inch needle is recommended. #WakeUpCLT #VERIFY #COVID19
