A member asked:

Can getting your ear pierced and the flu shot hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you are normal: People with normal pain fibers in their skin will notice the discomfort of a flu shot or ear piercing. Neither are much more than a mosquito bite, & few will give up going outside just because a few bugs might bite them.
