“examination gloves are needed to inject vaccines.”
well if the vaccine really works to prevent transmission, why do you still need glove?
and if it doesn't prevent transmission, why do you even need vaccine?
To be fair,I think the saying of “need to wear glove when giving vaccination” is redundant. In general, any clinical procedures require medical personnel to put on gloves for hygiene purpose. Depending on hospital/department regulation, one can opt whether to put on gloves or not to, of course sterile procedures would mandate having them put on.
That’s why when you see photos of vaccines being given, some medics have their gloves on some don’t. I facepalm whenever I see ppl comment “see they are not using glove when giving vaccines,so gloves are not needed when giving vaccines.” That’s what I called being ignorant.
Ultimately,it doesn’t change the fact that glove demand will go up in tandem with rising demand for clinics procedures,that of course includes vaccination. It’s not only gloves,but that includes syringes, needles, sharp bins, masks, ppe, aprons, trash bags etc. they’re there, it’s up to the medics to decide whether to use them or not.
