People of my generation might be excused for fearing injections. I
remember when the school nurse would be administering shots.... yes...
we had school nurses.... and they would use the same needle for everyone
in the class.

Years later I was in university and got a job as animal caretaker in
the Psychology department. I had to get a tetanus shot. I put it off for
weeks. I finally got the shot and I didn't feel a thing.
