Discuss with own Dr.: That does not sound safe. In such a situation, a patient should talk with her doctor as soon as possible to review the details about what happened, and find out why it happened. During a blood draw, the technician should be very careful to not contaminate the patient with germs, and to not accidentally inject anything back into the patient.

At son's 4 Mon vaccination, nurse use a plate with 3 syringes inside. She take off needle caps all at once and place them back to the plate, then give shots. The needles may contact the plate contaminated with other patient's blood. How risky it is?
