| VARCEL | VARICELLA (VARIVAX) | MERCK & CO. INC. | 1 | Z003882 | SC / LL |
While administering vaccine to patient was arms were being held by the patient's father. As I was going to give the vaccine (Varicella) in the thigh the patient was trying to move around and her leg broke free. She kicked toward my hand with the vaccine as I was going to give the vaccine. The needled came in contact with the patients toe on the opposite leg of the vaccine. At the time, I believed I had withdrawn the syringe quick enough and did not see any blood while repositioning the patient's leg and dad repositioned his hands to help hold the patient on the bed so I continued to give the vaccine. After administering Varicella I gave the other vaccines in the other leg I noticed a saw small drop of blood on the table paper. It appeared the infants toe had been puncture when kicking earlier. I informed father of the patient what had had happened. I got gauze to clean the area and apply pressure. The provider was notified and went back to the room to evaluate the area. Father was instructed to keep the area clean. Incident report has been completed internally.
