Exactly. I hate needles and tend to have a reaction to vaccinations. My husband got a flu shot two or three years ago, and was sick for days.

I hate needles

Me too.

My wife has pernicious anemia and I have to give her B-12 shots a couple times a month. She's the brave one, my knees start knocking so hard I have have to do it sitting down.

If you don’t like needles, you can ask for the intra-nasal administration of the influenza virus vaccine (FluMist by MedImmune). It’s just like using a spray nasal decongestant and very well tolerated.
