I thought no-one would state the obvious!

Would you want that vaccine, in the circumstances?

Sharps Bin it and start again.

Does your Risk Assessment not recognise this?

Many Thanks

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Needle removing device

Hello List

Could anyone recommend a needle removing device for the safe removing of a contaminated needle when, for example,1 an individual pulls away at point of vaccination and the needle is contaminated but the contents of the syringe remains intact and useable? The contaminated needle needs to be safely removed so that a new needle can be put on the syringe and contents used.

Any help would be gratefully received

Best wishes

Annie
