Immunization in Practice - Module 3: Ensuring safe injections
This module discusses practices that health workers should follow to ensure that they deliver immunization injections in the safest manner.
Injections are considered safe for:
- the child, when health workers use sterile needles and syringes and appropriate injection techniques;
- the health worker, when he or she avoids needle-stick injuries; and
- waste handlers and the community, when used injection equipment is disposed of properly and does not cause injuries or pollution.
