A vaccination camp was organized for children in a private school in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. For this work, the health department engaged the students of private nursing colleges. There was also a third-year student in it.
He administered the Kovid vaccine to 40 children one after the other with the same syringe. When a student's father caught sight of this, then the matter reached the administration.
In such a situation, the question arises what can be the danger of applying the vaccine from the same syringe? What is the correct way to use a syringe?
Question- How is it harmful to inject the vaccine with a syringe?
Answer- If the same syringe is used to give a vaccine or any medicine, then there is the highest risk of spreading viral diseases.
Think of it like this – if someone has an infection in his blood and his blood will remain in the syringe somewhere. As soon as you give the vaccine or medicine to another person with the same syringe, then he will also get the infection.
Question- If a patient comes to know that he has been given a vaccine or medicine from an old syringe, what should he do first?
Answer- After getting information in such a situation, you should immediately tell the whole matter to the doctor and get the blood test done. With this, viral disease or blood infection can be detected early. This will also allow timely treatment.
Question- How to know whether we are getting the vaccine or any medicine from the new syringe or the old syringe?
Answer- There is no special way for the patient to find out about this. All you can do is ask the person administering the injection or vaccine to use the new syringe right in front of you.
It was about the syringe. Now let's talk about diabetes patients. You must be wondering how we suddenly switched to diabetic patients with syringes and vaccines. So tell that when medicine or vaccine has to be delivered into the body, there is a needle on top of the syringe, and many patients with diabetes use a syringe and needle to take insulin daily? So the question arises that…
Can diabetic patients take insulin multiple times from the same needle?
General Physician, Dr. Arvind Kumar Mittal says about this no, it cannot be done at all. It has been banned to apply for vaccines or medicine repeatedly with a needle. It should be thrown away for single use. A diabetic patient should also use a needle only once to inject insulin.
This is the right way to take insulin by injection.
Wash hands with soap and water before taking insulin.
Fill the syringe with insulin as needed.
Do not put more than one type of insulin in one syringe.
Apply the dose only to the fat part.
While injecting, insert the needle into the skin.
Slowly depress the syringe. After the syringe is empty, keep the needle in place for about 10 seconds.
Carefully discard the needle and syringe after use.
Do you know why the nursing student, who gave the vaccine from the same syringe during the incident in Sagar, did this?
He says- 'I was brought by the HOD school of the college to give the vaccine. I was given only one syringe. I had also asked him whether children should be vaccinated with the same syringe, and he said – yes. So I vaccinated children with the same syringe. What is my fault in this?'

The use of disposable syringes was made mandatory after the outbreak of HIV in the 1990s.
It is unsafe to reuse both syringes and needles.
Doing so can lead to the development of necrotizing fasciitis, ie flesh-eating bacteria.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, about four lakh cases of hepatitis C are reported every year in India due to unsafe injections. Due to this, about 96,000 people lose their lives.
