[MCOH-EH] BBP protocols

[Lesoski, Darryl]

We had an odd request by a large chain grocery store pharmacy and want to ask for your input.  THANKS ahead of time.

Pharmacy personnel gave an influenza vaccination, then stuck herself with the needle after administrating the vaccine.

Employer Nurse at corporate had BOTH the exposed and source brought to our office wanting us to draw blood on the source in order to fully evaluate the potential BBP exposure and use of prophylaxis treatment.

How would you handle such a request?   What guidance do you use for any type of needlestick and/or BBP exposure?

I would appreciate your insight and opinion as I am a bit (OK - a lot troubled!!) by such a request.   THANKS.  Darryl
