Forgot to sterilise top of Hcg Vial - contaminated?

[TransitPoloce]

I forgot to sterilise the top of an Hcg vial with an alcohol swab before drawing a dose with a syringe.

I discarded the syringe/dose I drew - but I'm concerned I've contaminated the rest of the vial.

The Hcg has only been mixed and open for a week - and stored in a clean empty fridge since then.

Is discarding the rest of the vial being overly cautious? What would you do?

Thanks

If it was me, I would continue using the HCG. I would think the top was clean.

try to remember in the future, and keep the rest of the vial. I have forgotten in the past and I'm still alive.

I would consider assisted suicide, I hear Oregon has decent laws on that.

I'm kidding, you'll be fine. Do you really think alcohol kills ALL microbes in the 10 seconds it's touching the stopper?

Keep using it. HCG is reconstituted in bacteriostatic water. Unless the rubber stopper was extremely contaminated there is no need to worry in my opinion
