Which is more painful?

Does a blood test hurts more than a vaccine injection? Have never done a blood test before and has phobia. Just wanna set my expectation right. Thanks 😊

It really depends on individual. For me blood tests are more painful because my veins are quite thin and hard to locate. But it isn't a scary process for me. Just look away, take deep breathes and it'll be over before u know it. It also helps if you can eat something before the blood test.

Quite fast, from the moment they poke until remove the needle, just few seconds only, but if they need to draw more than 1 tube of blood, u might feel a bit of pain when they change the tube, cuz the needle might move slightly.
