There are three keys to vaccination site care: 1. Don’t touch your vaccination site. 2. If you touch it by accident, wash your hands right away. 3. Don’t let others touch your vaccination site or materials that touched it. Vaccine virus is present at the vaccination site for about 14 to 21 days, until the scab falls off. This means other people can get infected if they come in contact with virus from your arm. You can infect others if you touch your blister and then touch another person.
