If someone has MRSA in their sputum, how do they prevent spreading it, and how can you tell if it's active or inactive? Additionally, why do hospitals take precautions with isolation regardless of whether MRSA is active or colonized, and how safe is it to interact with someone who is colonized with MRSA, especially around young children?

I received my first HPV shot at 10am today. I am 13 years old. Two hours later, my sister had an appointment for the same shot. While she was in the bathroom, the doctor mistakenly gave me the same shot twice, when my second dose was supposed to be given two months later. The doctor seemed worried and said 'it's ok! now you have only one left and your sister has two'. I want to know if receiving a double dose of the HPV vaccine has any side effects, if it is harmful to me, and what I should do.

My 7-month-old baby has red pin-size spots under his skin on his left arm, and he is not showing other symptoms at this stage. Could this be leukemia? Please help.
