Optimum protection at hand vaccination

After trialing various options with Dr.Chris Gould of Intervet Schering Plough we decided on use of the 'rabbit ear' Fishguard protectors for the KayCee syringe, combined with a 3mm neoprene glove covering 'Turtle Skin Insider' gloves (available from Pharmaq- see links page). This may seem excessive but the 'cure' appears worse than the 'disease' when it comes to treatment of accidental self injection.
