Do you need to wear gloves when giving immunotherapy injection?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Prevent infection: Any injection has a risk of contact with blood and potentially to blood-related infectious diseases. Using gloves protects both the patient and the healthcare provider.

No: Good clinical practice recommends use of sterile technique and safety syringes however gloves are not mandated and therefore up to the discretion of the administrator.
