If this happens stay calm, then:
🧑⚕️ Ask to speak to someone who does know about PEP – like:
👉 The on-call infectious diseases doctor
👉 Staff who give PEP to healthcare workers after a needle-stick injury
👀 Show this Information:
It has accurate info that can help explain what PEP is and why it matters.
