Internet users were stunned after a nurse confessed to using the same needle to vaccinate at least 10 people in Brazil against Covid-19.
The revealing video quickly went viral. The disclosure was made after a person questioned him that the needle he was using was misplaced when the dose was applied.
‘This needle makes ten holes, you understand? … It’s the norm here, we can’t change the needle, ”the nurse revealed. Given the controversy that the clip sparked, the Altamira Mayor’s authorities denied that the nurse will use the same needle to vaccinate several people who come for the application of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The Brazilian Ministry of Health announced that the nurse had been separated from her position to clarify the situation.
Finally, the medical institution clarified that “all materials used in administering the dose of the vaccines are discarded after use”.
