The CDC has recommended needles up to 1-1/4 length, which would result in over penetration in a high percentage of babies and children, especially for injections in the shoulder. By looking at MRIs and evaluating the depth of the subcutaneous fat and muscle layers, these authors recommend much smaller needles and basing the size on the child's weight and age rather than using a universal needle length.
Isn't it amazing that this has not been studied before by the CDC? As the top regulatory agency, it is just assumed that their recommendations are based on science. Assume nothing!
I'm always gratified when actual scientific studies confirm what any mother could have told you just by common sense and sight. Don't be afraid to look at that needle length for your baby or toddler and make sure it fits the new recommendations.

CDC/FEMA joined at the hip?
Frankly, I don't believe that CDC cares. CDC hid facts about FEMA formaldehyde assault on the occupants of FEMA housing provide to disaster victims. CDC helped FEMA create this health epidemic as 100000s of survivor became victim to CDC "do want to know" policy. At one of the CDC//FEMA post "We poisoned the Kids" meetings in Mississippi in February 2008, One of CDC doctors stated that they were looking forward to conducting study the health effects of the low dose long tern exposure a chemical agent on children. I wonder if that will do studies in the same manner as ADSTR; design the results and work only to support the desired results. In today's profit over people policy of government agencies, it is likely that someone in government must have money invested in larger needles. I wander if any of the CDC employees have invested in the companies that provided FEMA designed TOXIC trailers.
