Do you, by any chance, know if flu vaccines or any other vaccines for adults exist with a pediatric needle?

The other day, I had blood drawn for a thyroid blood test. These blood drawings are usually very painful and almost always cause RSD flare-ups. Sometime, they could even cause venipuncture RSD, which is why I do not like big needles, that is, needles for adults. I asked the nurse to use a pediatric needle for the blood drawing and I could not believe it: I practically did not feel the needle go in! From now on, I will stick with pediatric needles! I will ask the pharmacists who sell the vaccines if the adult needles could be changed for a pediatric needle.

Do you know if the intradermal flu vaccine can cause nausea and vomiting?

Thanks for your information.
