Blood test and flu shot at kkh

Same like you, I’m terrified of needles and I always make it known to the nurses before the blood test or vaccinations. They will have more empathy and be as gentle as they can. So far they have always been very gentle and trying to distract me by engaging me in conversations while asking me to look away. If I remember correctly the whooping cough vaccination is more painful than the flu shot. It’s not the needle but it’s when the medication is going in.
