Which of the following is an advantage of plastic syringes?

• A. Variety, Disposability, and Convenience
• B. High cost and limited reuse
• C. Limited availability and heavy
• D. Difficult to dispose

Answer: (C)

Plastic syringes are advantageous because they come in a variety of sizes and configurations to fit different vaccines and patients, they are disposable and sterile unit doses designed for single use, which greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and eliminates the need for on-site sterilization, and they are convenient—ready to use straight from the package, lightweight, and inexpensive to produce. These qualities support efficient, safe vaccination in many settings. The other options describe drawbacks—higher cost and limited reuse, heavier weight due to availability issues, or disposal challenges—which are not advantages of plastic syringes.
