Reflection question: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused health care professionals to critically examine evidence of current best practices. There has been discussion about ‘pooling’ residual COVID-19 vaccine from several vials to obtain a full dose. Does this meet current best practice? Explain why or why not?
In my opinion, this does not meet current best practice. When using multiple doses vial there are many rules to be followed in drawing, labelling and keeping track of the expiry time of the vaccine so pooling residual vaccine from several vials might not meet best practice.
