JUST BEFORE YOU GET YOUR NEEDLE

• Keep a positive attitude. This needle will benefit your health.
• Talk to the nurse about another topic to distract yourself.
  
• Relax your arm. Let it go limp. This makes a needle much less painful.
  
• Don't look when the nurse gives the injection.
  
• Keep very still. Don't move or jerk your arm.
  
• When you finish, give yourself a pat on the back.
  
• Be a role model. Set a good example.
  
• Use your arm normally afterwards. Resume normal activity.
  
• Remain on school property for 15 minutes in case you have any type of reaction.
