[QUOTE="tareload, post: 223821"] I would keep swabbing everything (site and bottle vigorously) prior to draw and injection. BTW, the link to the paper from the article you cite above is broken. Always pays to read the original work and not just an article about it. So here is the paper: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cadth.ca/sites/default/files/pdf/htis/2020/RC1218%20Skin%20Prep%20Injection%20Final%20corrected.pdf[/URL] [I]Key Findings One relevant randomized controlled trial was identified regarding the effectiveness of skin preparation prior to vaccinations in children. The study found that there was no statistically significant difference in local skin reactions and infection rates when comparing alcohol skin cleansing to no cleansing prior to vaccinations.
