COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[Syt]

I didn't feel my jab at all. Multiple people have reported the same.

[The Larch]

I'll have to look the other way anyway.

I'll have to look the other way anyway. 

Yeah same. I'm going to tell them beforehand that I tend to get queasy around hospitals, so they don't think I'm having an allergic reaction.

I don't mind getting shots, but the sight of blood makes me nauseous/feel faint.  When I got my first covid shot, I was fortunately looking away because the nurse nicked a blood vessel and blood spurted out.

[Syt]

I'm ok, with blood. I used to donate blood regularly. My complexion always threw nurses off, though. "Do you feel all right?" - "Yeah, I'm always this pale."

[Grey Fox]

The only time that my knees felt week was when my son was 3 had blood drawn and he was sitting on my lap.

I'm not squeezy. It's just blood or shit or whatever. It'll wash off.

[Maladict]

I get weak in the knees just entering a hospital. That smell, I can't stand it.

There's almost no time to look away. That's how quick it was.

So obviously the government is now backtracking on their ditching AZ/J&J move because Moderna can't deliver and Curevac approval is delayed. I don't know where that leaves the voluntary sign up or my chances of getting a vaccine before August.

It has been announce that my age group will start getting vaccinated next week. It has made me slightly anxious. 

The needle they used on me was so tiny I didn't feel it at all. Compared to getting my flu shot it was nothing.

So maybe you have nothing to worry about.

Bring your phone and distract yourself with ridiculous videos.

... works for my kids anyhow.

[Tamas]

If I see my own blood what still left of it in my body quickly flees out of my brain. But when it comes to injections or taking of blood samples I just look away and focus on not focusing on what's happening. Like that, jabs like this are easy.

[Sheilbh]

I'm fairly relaxed - get blood tests every month or so. So I've become pretty used to needles and blood etc.

[Gups]

How so? Vaccine uncertainty or "I best not get covid before"?

I don't like needles... 

Having my second this afternoon. I dislike needles as well but the first was really the least intrusive needle in my arm I've ever felt. If  I hadn't been focussing on it I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Yeah, I was doing that for awhile and trained myself to watch.
