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 have always had the arm wiped with something before the needle. Seems
to be standard practice to put a bandaid over the spot after the shot
needed or not.
I seldom have had any blood on the bandaid after I removed it.
