Hello doctor! The doctor asked me, are the syringes and needles of the Synflorix 10 pneumococcal vaccine self-destructing or reusable? The number is that when I took my child to get vaccinated, I saw that the injector took out a syringe and needle from the box of pneumococcal vaccine, so I was worried if they forgot to reuse the syringe. Have you used it but re-inject it for your child? Doctor please help me.

Answer
Hello! Synflorix vaccine is a 10-strain pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, each box will have 1 syringe containing the drug, the dose is 0.5ml and used only once.
Therefore, it will not be possible to use the baby before injecting the next baby. So you don't need to worry too much.
