A member asked:
While administering the meningococcal vaccine, my daughter moved and got her finger pricked twice by the needle by accident, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk : By keeping the puncture wounds (all 3) clean by washing twice daily with soap and water, you will better be able to monitor for early signs of infection that may (albeit unlikely) occur due to the contamination of the needle when it was touched to the unprepped skin of the finger.
