Do people who give you shots at a hospital use new syringes and needles?

In the US, yes... hospitals use disposable needles and syringes.
It's cheaper than trying to sterilize syringes.

Hi im a nurse and for every patient a new needle and syringe is used. That is the practice in every hospital and clinic in the world.
If everyone shared needles then alot of people would be infected!!

Yes , Each paitent gets new syringes and needles EVERY time they get a shot. They CANNOT re-use them.

Absolutely!
All needles used in hospital and doctor's offices in the US are new and disposable.

Of course they do!
If they don't you're in trouble!
