True! And thank you
It's the needle itself! I'm not worried about "what will happen", I've been vaccinated before and the science on these vaccinations (I'm in for AstraZeneca or Pfizer) seems sound. It's just the look and feel of the syringe that triggers it. I've tried some exposure therapy (looking at photos online, reading, etc.) but overdid it, just ended up feeling very sick. I'm better than I was younger, nowadays I can pull myself together for the act of the vaccination itself but the vasovagal reaction still happens afterwards.
