Hello, I Recently Got A Vaccination For Hepatitis A From
Hello,
I recently got a vaccination for Hepatitis A from a travel clinic. A clean needle was used as the nurse opened the package right in front of me but I just found out a couple of hours later that the wound was bleeding just outside the middle of the bandage. I was just wondering if there is any outside risk of contracting HIV/hep C from the nurse possibly touching my wound (she was not wearing gloves) while applying the bandaid?
