Unsafe injections practices often ushers in unnecessary health hazards and this may be a portal through which infections can be propagated to recipient. With this view a search was done to look into the microbial elements that could have contaminated the multi dose vials of BCG during immunization in a tertiary care hospital. The multidose vials of BCG were collected after their use for immunization In the Immunization clinic of Bankura Sammilani Medical College, West Bengal. In the laboratory of Department of Microbiology of the Institution, swabs were made from the cap and residual fluid left in the BCG vials after immunization, slides were prepared following the basic microbiological norms and a thorough search was done for microbial elements. The multidose vials did not show any microbial element except one which had 2 colonies of Candida was grown which proved to be plate contaminants. It is deducted from the above findings that even the multidose vials, if handled properly are quite safe in the hands of our health care workers at this peripheral post too.
