Vending Machines for Safe Injection

An interesting AP article came out last week describing the efforts of a harm reduction organization operating in Puerto Rico. Because the needle and syringe exchanges in that area operate only during daylight, vending machines with safe injection equipment cater to IDUs who may need access to clean equipment in the evening hours. This is an interesting and innovative way of getting the clean equipment to IDUs, and one which may be particularly effective in certain settings.
