Theses videos are part of CDC’s Project Firstline. Project Firstline is a collaborative of diverse healthcare and public health partners that have come together to provide foundational knowledge about infection control to anyone working in a healthcare facility. To stop the spread of infectious disease threats, it’s important not only to have this foundational knowledge, but to understand and be ready to implement infection control protocols and procedures throughout the workday, including during every patient care activity and healthcare interaction

This session describes several infection control steps to take when using a multi-dose vaccine vial to make sure you’re using it safely on a patient: use multi-dose vials in a separate, clean space that is away from patients. Clean your hands before touching the vial. Check the label of the vial, and check the vaccine to make sure it isn’t dirty. Use a new needle and syringe for every vaccine dose. Clean the top of the vial before inserting the needle. Do not pool doses. Always follow the vaccine maker’s instructions for vaccine use and storage.
