A New Jersey nurse giving flu shots to employees of a pharmaceutical company has been accused of using the same syringe on multiple patients, according to the Associated Press.
The nurse, who was with TotalWellness, administered flu shots to 67 employees of West Windsor-based Otsuka Pharmaceutical Sept. 30, according to New Jersey Department of Health officials. According to the Department of Health, she changed the needles but used the same syringe.
TotalWellness said the nurse was independently contracted. The nurse is no longer working for TotalWellness, according to 6abc Action News.
It is unclear whether the same syringe was used on all 67 patients. The New Jersey Department of Health is working to notify the employees.
