Netizens were stunned after a nurse confessed to using the same needle to vaccinate Covid-19 in at least 10 people in Brazil.
The video of the revelation quickly went viral. The revelation was made after a person questioned him that the needle he was using was incorrectly placed when applying the dose.
“This needle makes ten holes, you understand? … It’s the norm here, we can’t be changing needles,” the nurse revealed. Faced with the controversy that sparked the clip, Altamira mayoral authorities denied that the nurse will use the same needle to vaccinate several people who come for the Covid-19 vaccine application.
Here’s the viral video
The Brazilian Ministry of Health announced that the nurse had been removed from her post in order to clarify the situation.
Finally, the medical institution clarified that “all materials used in the application of the dose of vaccines are discarded after use.”
