Hi all, I am based at South East Asia, due to Covid, we are all rushed to be vaccinated. Was placed in a small clinic for the vaccination.
Doctor was treating patients and vaccinating people at the same time. One was in crutches and bandaged, so doctor was treating bloody wounds earlier. And when it was my turn, I noticed the doctor:
1. accidentally touch the needle part (not the syringe) that went in to my arm
2. touch the plaster with her fingers, then paste the plaster to my needle jab wound (the plaster part she touched with the fingers, touched my fresh needle jab wound)
Reason for my worries is that I noticed the doctor and the nurses did not wear any gloves. And the doctor did not wash her hands when I see the next person came in for the jab …… If her fingers have some HIV blood residue, possible for a HIV transmission? Thanks all.
