Find something else in the room to look at, and dig your fingernail into your thumb on your other hand to distract yourself. And talk - most phlebotomists and shot-givers know people don't like needles, and they'll have a shallow conversation with you.
Think about something that makes you really happy, or bring an mp3 player?
look away and talk it will be over in a second
Keep your eyes close and tell the person giving in it to you not to say when they are about to stick you.
