If you have ever had an injection that did not conform to the exact guidelines in this CDC video, you did not have a safe injection.   The rule is, “one needle, one syringe, only one time.”  There are no exceptions to this rule. 

The intended audience for this simple 13-minute video is healthcare workers.  It explains how to avoid spreading blood-borne pathogens by using safe injection practices.  Multidose vial use is covered.   About 8-minutes into the presentation, there is a good animation about how cross-contamination occurs.

Notice that there are no exceptions for jet-gun injectors and needleless devices.  Now we know how to protect ourselves and our families in the future.
