[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTAF with no vaccines since 2? You have bigger things to worry about than a finger prick, OP. Ugh. [/quote]

Seriously.  Everyone go get the shot. Bring ice befor, ice after, numbing "Cream" (lidocaine or etc) and go for milkshakes afterwards. Your whole sob story about how you "felt for her" is nice, but you aren't doing your daughter any favors not giving her a chance to handle this while the stakes are low and iti s easy. That is your JOB as a parent.  Also my dad hated doctors as a kid but I got flu shots.  One yera I didn't and I got the flu.  Trust me, I was lining up after that.  The flu shot was a bad match a couple of years ago and I got the flu.   And as the other poster said -- vaccine are for all sorts of things.

Ever heard of HeLa cells?  Those are Henrietta Lacks' cells who died of cervical cancer at age 30.  My daughter has already had Gardasil at 11.  No worries of that now.

DS recently had to start taking an injectable med daily (thank you, insurance, for not giving us weekly, but I digress) for a serious medical condition. Thankfully he had practiced with vaccines and this isn't a huge hurdle.  Do your daughter a service OP and work on this.  The day will come when she needs this and she will thank you.  Even if it isn't the needles directly it is not letting irrational fear control your life. Nothing more universal.[/quote]
