2 days ago, I tripped and cut my left arm (4 inches long wound). 40 hours later, I decided to get a tetanus shot at the clinic. The doctor asked me to remove the band aid to have a look. At that time, the wound is already dried but not 100% sure. He then asked me to replace the band aid with a new one because its saturated with dried blood. He took a new band aid out of the drawer and open it. He was somewhat clumsy and i can see that he actually touched the sterilized part of the band aid several times before manage to place it on the wound properly.

Should I be worry that the doctor might have actually touched something or someone's else's blood before touching the bandaid and infect me with diseases like Hepatitis or HIV via the wound?

This has happened to a few of my friends....they get the shot and then they get sick from it. lol....and they aren't usually sickly so they probably wouldn't even have gotten sick in the first place. The shots are free as employee benefits...or what not...so they just decide to get them. Did the flu shot make YOU sick at all?

I woke up Wednesday morning achy with a sore throat. I spent all day yesterday in bed and just generally feel like crap today. My appetite is out the window and I feel like I'm getting a fever. I'm usually burning up in my office in the afternoons, and today I've got minor chills. Even though I slept all yesterday, I still feel exhausted. My husband had a flu shot last week. Someone told me today that it's possible I got the flu from him, since the flu shot contains the live virus. Is this true??????
