So I’m a 24 week pregnant registered nurse in a medical practice and today I was vaccinating a 3 year old and a 1 year with varicella (chicken pox).
Did the 3 year old first and then the 1 year old, when finished with the 1 year old the 3 yo cried really loud I turned and stuck myself with the needle
They are fully up to date with their vaccinations and there is no need to think that the 1yo has any blood born diseases I should be worried about. I am however worried about having live vaccine in my thumb. And how this could effect my baby.
Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Has anyone had a live vaccine when pregnant?
(All protocol was followed. Bloods done wound bled out and hands washed for at least 3 mins and rubbed with iodine ect, I opted for no bloods done on the baby as it would be unnecessary and traumatising)
