POST 01029E : USE OF ETHANOL FOR VACCINE INJECTIONS 22 December 2006 _______________________________________ Jedeth Mamora (mailto:[email protected]) from UNICEF/Indonesia has another question here below. _______________________________________ Dear team Technet, Could the use of ethanol or alcohol swab before and after vaccine injection possibly hamper or destruct the effectiveness of vaccines in the body? To how much percentage does the damage could do to the vaccine? And are there any studies on this particular issue published? I ask this question because in where I am working, the practices of using alcohol swab are prevailing. Thank you, JJ Jedeth Jenefa Mamora, MPH EPI Asistant Project Officer Health & Nutrition Dept Banda Aceh Zone Office Indonesia ______________________________________________________________________________ All members of the TechNet21 e-Forum are invited to send comments on any posting or to use the forum to raise a new discussion or request technical information in relation to immunization services.
