The left sleeve is folded across the front showing that it has the Onion logo and also the name Kelly, which is my name. I had nothing to do with the design or manufacturing of this shirt.

A screenshot of a CDC table showing recommended needle lengths for administering vaccines. Of note, while a 1" needle is appropriate for most adults, a 1.5" needle is recommended for men over 260 pounds and women over 200 pounds. This is to ensure that the vaccine reaches the deltoid muscle of the arm. The chart's header also advises that "clinical judgment should be used when selecting needles to administer injectable vaccines."
