The New Jersey Department of Health and West Windsor Township Health Department are looking into a situation in which a nurse reused syringes when administering flu shots, according to The Washington Post.
Here are five key points:
1. The nurse gave 67 people flu shots, reusing syringes.
2. The affected people are encouraged to get tested for hepatitis and HIV, though the health department said the risk is low.
3. The nurse did not reuse the needles, but the CDC said syringes should not be used for multiple patients.
4. The nurse was contracted by TotalWellness, a Nebraska-based corporate wellness company.
5. The incident occurred at Otsuka Pharmaceuticals.
