injection safety

Injection safety involves practices that ensure medicines or vaccines delivered with syringes do not cause infections or harm. This includes using sterile, single-use needles and syringes, proper hand hygiene, and correct disposal of used equipment. Healthcare providers follow strict protocols to prevent the spread of bloodborne viruses like HIV or hepatitis. Patients should receive injections from trained professionals in safe environments. Safe injection practices protect individuals and communities by reducing the risk of infections and ensuring medications work effectively.
