It's a little bit of scar tissue, nothing to worry about. <BR/><BR/>As for the flu vaccine being injected when blood was seen in hub... the nurse must of nick some capillaries, I don't think she cannulated a vein as you would of had some pretty bad side effects. If you were going to have a bad reaction from it, you would of had it already.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387600080570381214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-1168420809615349282007-01-10T04:20:00.000-05:002007-01-10T04:20:00.000-05:00I am curious to know.. how serious is it if accide...I am curious to know.. how serious is it if accidently administering into a blood vessel?

You do need to discard the medication if you aspirate blood. First of all if you only change the needle it makes it difficult to see if you aspirate blood the second time. Second if you inject the medication with the blood you are putting the blood that came from a vein into a muscle, and this is what causes bruising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
