Odd question but I’m getting vaccines soon and I forgot what they feel like.

I’ve also never had an ant bite.

I’ve never had piercings, either.

a little pinch, and then it’s pretty much over

All I remember from my last needle is that I cried. I was pretty young back then though.

I pinched myself and I think that’s how the needle’s gonna feel. That works.

I have a strong fear of needles but the pinch does make sense, I’ve gotten better with dental needles so I should be better with these ones

if u close ur eyes and look away, u might not even notice it. its what i used to do when i was younger

Alright step out of the way queen of needles right here

I’ve gotten two picclines, many, many IVs and as among vaccinations as I can count.

Do you know what type of vaccinations you’re getting? Because it can really vary.

I can get back to you later, but I’m due for hepatitis b shots and a few more that I don’t remember.

Alright hep b shouldn’t hurt too much, since they’re inserting it more at a 45 degree angle than straight down. I might be wrong, it might hurt like a shit, but idk. I feel like it won’t hurt as much as a tetnis (whatever) or polio which goes straight down into the muscle.

Shots for me start with a pinch and then there's a dull ache that doesn't go away for a while like a week.

tetanus shots werent really that bad, just kinda dull ache for a bit after, like relsey said

If tetanus shots aren’t bad then they’re doing it wrong lmao

well fuck

either that or my pain tolerance really just is that high. id probably go with them not doing it right

It might be idk

That’s why those shots are so long-term

Because they cut deep and HURT

oof

Yep

“Insert needle at a 90° angle into thickest portion of deltoid muscle — above the level of the axilla and below the ..”

But for children it’s 45 degrees

well i was a kid
