A 15-year-old with a known needle phobia had been putting off his immunisations for years. His last vaccination — more than two years earlier — had come after months of procrastination and stress for the whole family. His mother spent six months researching NeedleCalm, preparing him gradually, then brought the device to the appointment herself and explained it to the GP. The GP had never come across NeedleCalm before but followed the included instructions confidently.
A Meningococcal vaccination was given in his left deltoid. When it was over, he said he hadn’t felt a thing — not even the medication going in.
