Needle stick injury
I got a small superficial prick by a surgical blade which was unsterile. The blade which I was using on the patient was seri negative but dont know on who previously patients blade was used. But the blade looked clean and dry while I used it. I'm even fully vaccinated for hepatitis B. What should I do now?
