Sterile Compounding: How it Should Work

25 people in Florida have been infected with fungal meningitis after receiving a contaminated steroid injection. Nationwide, 693 people have become ill from receiving the shots which came from the New England Compounding Center. 45 have died.
A pharmacist from Carrollwood Pharmacy and Compounding explains the difference between non-sterile and sterile compounding and shows how it's supposed to be done.

The title of this video isn't totally accurate. She left a needle in one of the vials she was working with in the hood, leaving the vial open to potential contaminates. This is a huge no-no.

"25 people in Florida have been infected with fungal meningitis after receiving a contaminated steroid injection." That sounds a bit dubious to me considering that fungal meningitis can be transmitted by many different modes.
