Q:
Won't the break in your skin from the shot allow pathogens to easily
enter your body to get you sick?
A: Yes, breaks in the skin, such as
from getting a shot, can allow pathogens to
enter and infect your body. That's why, after giving you a shot,
the doctor rubs alcohol onto your skin to kill any pathogens
present and gives you a bandage to prevent any other pathogens
from entering.
