You can buy needle from medisave I'm sure other places too.The needle size depends if you are doing subcutaneous or intramuscular

You will need a 21g 11/2 " or similar to draw it up then change needles

I have 30G 1/2 " needlex for sc. Finest you can go. Some use 27G . 27- 30 fine

For IM the nurse uses 23G blue but many use finer 25G 1"

2ml syringes compatible with needle

I also bought a ampoule snapper

Recommended on here

Snapit . I find this worth every penny

exchangesupplies.org also supply needles , syringes and alcohol swabs . They have my favourite syringes — the “nevershare “ which are extra secure at holding the needle .
