      at least vaccines are quick and barely noticable, just gotta distract yourself hard enough to not think about it.
      They should have a simple cardboard divider you stick your arm through and a pair of headphones with loud music, that’d make it so much easier for everyone.

      Saaaaame. Tho the last nurse I had told me they’re happy to let me keep blabbering about whatever because it keeps me distracted.

      Top system: get a lollypop and put it in your pocket. Go get the vaccine, hold the lolly in your pocket with your other hand while you get the vaccine, become stronger than ever, and then enjoy lolly. Bada bing bada boom it ain’t that bad you got a lollypop

      Preferably one of the giant rainbow swirl ones for looks, but whatever works for you is best
