One & Only Campaign (safe injection practices)

Also: One Needle, One Syringe, Only One Time

“One Needle, One Syringe, Only One Time”

CDC and the Safe Injection Practices Coalition campaign to end unsafe medical injections in US health care - syringe reuse and misuse of medication vials - after outbreaks that sent tens of thousands of patients for bloodborne pathogen testing. Materials for clinicians include posters, videos, an insulin pen safety series, continuing education and a patient notification toolkit, with patient-facing posters too.

Research notes

Clinician-facing campaign. Discovered 2026-10-22 (clinician-campaigns pass). CDC page (Wayback 2019) fetched 2026-10-22: led by CDC and the Safe Injection Practices Coalition; nearly 200,000 patients sent for testing since 2001; materials list includes an Injection Safety Stakeholder Meeting December 2009. startYear 2009 is an estimate from that list; oneandonlycampaign.org now redirects to a CDC page that returned 403. Tagline from general knowledge, unverified. Executions are the OneandOnlyCampaign YouTube channel (videos 12-15 years old; years not confirmed). Taxonomy gap: "patient-safety".
