I've noticed that the US pre wipes the injection area with I assume
surgical spirit and a plaster is applied after the jab. The UK does none
of this now. None of my family had any blood on their arms after the jab.
At most I've seen a piece of cotton wool held on the injection area for
a matter of a few seconds, then it is removedwith no visible blood.
(Just an observation)



I am surprised that the Brits do not do this as problems can result.
Staph bacteria exist on the skin and can infect the body. I had it
happen a few months ago with an injection into my eye for wet AMD. Was
a bitch to deal with as four more injections were needed to clear it up:
one to identify bacteria (it was staph), two of antibiotic and one of
steroid.

Not trying to scare anybody about getting injected and suspect if it
happened with skin injection the infected could just take antibiotic
orally.
