“Getting a Covid vaccine will require an injection. For some people, the thought of confronting a needle might be too much to bear, even if there’s a cultural pressure not to talk about it... about two thirds of kids and a quarter of adults have some serious reservations about needles. Within that group, another 10% of people have extreme anxieties and fears... though someone might stress about needles while, also, doubting what’s inside the syringe, fear of the pointy tip alone can easily dissuade some from getting themselves or their children crucial shots... 24% of parents and 63% of children reported a fear of needles.”
