I'm NOT afraid of the vaccine needle. Are you?

I've got my initial dose of Tetanus Toxoid injection today. Though, my wound may not be consider severe, it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm already get use of the injection needles because I always encounter it whenever I was taken with blood samples for lab tests. Photo Credit: pixabay.com

Yes, I remember as a child when health personnel inject vaccines at schools. Some of my classmates cried, other hide under the tables.

i remember a doctor saying that any wound or getting hit on the face or on the head should be treated seriously. i'm glad you went as a precaution.

Yes, that's why because we'll never know how those harmful elements work on us.

@ZedSmart if i remember correctly, i think the symptoms started about 1 or 2 weeks after, and the final ones were being afraid of the dark and water.

thinking of needles, I think I am quite afraid due to the fact that when I was very young, I was almost injected everyday by the doctor. But I never knew I would be a regular blood donor when I was still single.

@ZedSmart I am also used to needles. I usually get my flu shot but right now because of the virus I really do not want to go to a clinic to get one. If someone could come to my home that would be great.

If you could let somebody come at minimal cost then it's ideal.

Few months ago, I received injections with two days gap. And it helped to cure my fear for needles.

Normally i don't, but the last time I received an injection was really hurt, I can feel every drop of the medicine. It gave me trauma.

I think it's a bit painful depending on the liquidity of thickness of the vaccine.

I used to be afraid. Then I got tuberculosis when I was in the university. I had to take 9 pills and an injection a day for like a month or more. I no longer feel much afterwards.

At first, I am scared. Now, it is fine. But I need not to look at it during the process.

@ZedSmart When I had my medical mission before, I need to have a series of vaccines before the departure from our country. At that time, I got used to being injected with a syringe.

I think ants bite is more painful because it will leave there for a while.
