What to do if i have my jab soon and i'm prone to fainting, any ideas of how not to?

A few tricks: Make certain you are well hydrated that day. Have venapuncture while lying flat on your back, with perhaps your head below chest level. A beta-blocker might control the reaction, so see if your doctor might give you a few tabs.
