A member asked:
If the nurse forgets to disinfect the area before administering a vaccine to a toddler can it cause any infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Anytime a wound is made in the skin surface it may allow germs to get in. This scenario would suggest the area could develop an abscess or soft tissue infection at the site. However, the human immune system may be forgiving enough to neutralize any germ(s) that made it inside.
