Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] FW: Issues with Influenza Vaccination leakage
Hi All,
I would like to ask if anyone else is having issues with the AfluriaQuad Influenza vaccine and BD Eclipse needles. We have had a number of leur lock mechanism breakages as well as vaccine leaking requiring a 2nd dose. We have also had a needle stick injury post vaccination when the needle and syringe fell apart as the safety mechanism was being activated. I also have been informed that another organisation have had 3 needle stick injuries within their IC department using the same combination of vaccine and BD Eclipse needles. I have attached a photo of the broken syringe / needle combination.
This issue has been reported to TGA, BD and Seqirus
