I personally have always pinned after showering and never swabbed. IMO the problems arise with not injecting but the prep before and guys using the same needle that they have drawn out with or as you say not cleaning the multi vial top.

Good point I always swap pins. I Draw with a 23g and pin with a 25-27g. I should edit that it. Thanks James.

I pretty much agree, swabbing will clean the area and kill a small amount of bacterium, the other bacterium left on your skin are really nothing to worry about though, Even the BA in gear takes a week to kill all bacterium present in the solution. Note for homebrewers (be patient, wait a week)

The alcohol in the swab will not 100% sterilise the stop or injection sight but it will be more than enough. However (I know this is very rare) ALWAYS let the alcohol dry on the stopper and injection sight as mentioned in the post regarding superbugs.
