2B brave, act brave: Nobody likes injections. Don't try to manipulate the contents of your mind -- this comes only from habits. What you can do is some serious play-acting. Pretend. Smile. See how much you can grin. Think about the benefits of the injection -- do you know what the world was like before immunization?

Thanks for asking!: Take deep breaths, try to not look at the needle and the person giving the shot. Analyze why you are feeling this way. Did you have a bad experience a long time ago. Shots hurt but i know you can do it! good luck.
