Answers:

This particular shot has a very small needle and feels more like a pinch than actually hurting! Closing your eyes and taking deep breaths help with the "pain",but possibly ask your DR if you can have a Xanax 1 hr b4 the shot. it could help your aniexty.
One actullay needs this DTAP shot every 10 years, so get over the needles dear.



Take a few deep breaths. As they are giving you the shot, blow the air out of your mouth hard!

You'll barely feel it.

Sorry, time to grow up and stop being a drama baby. There are a lot worse things than shots out there...



Put in music headphones, ask them to talk to you while they do it to distract you...
