The pharmacist was taking one bandage from front desk while preparing for vaccination.she didn't bring bandage with her. she gave vaccination n used new bandage from that room .i am afraid she is infected with hiv or hepc and reused needle on me ?

Healthcare professionals haven't reused needles in direct patient care for decades. They are relatively cheep and there are Federal rules against the practice. I consider the idea a bit unreasonable.
