Vaccination Syringe
Hi Doctors,
Yesterday I got vaccinated for covid.
I didn't see the syringe was new one or the old one.
However, I saw the they have filled the syringe with covid vaccine.
My worry is about - if that was not a new needle, is there any risk ?

Don't doubt in everything.
It's a protocol in present era in health system that no syringe is reused. All syringes are disposable and thrown once used.

It will be always a new syringe for every patient. All hospitals follow that. So don't worry about the syringe being old/new.
