[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1404110, member: 27490"] Changing needles between each animal you are vaccinating is a good practice. I change needles but not the syringe. If I am using more than one vaccine, I label each syringe for the vaccine I am using. I wonder if anyone has issues with using the same syringe between animals. I notice that I sometimes get bleed back into the syringe. BQA protocols state that you should pull the plunger back to determine if the needle is in the lumen of a blood vessel. I never do that. I am too focused on getting the job done. On occasion, I see evidence of contamination in the form of blood in the stem of the syringe. Obviously, the next animal vaccinated with that syringe is cross contaminated. Is that a concern that anyone else shares? [/QUOTE]
