Pre-school booster - can anyone remember how many jabs?

My son is having his pre-school booster this week (he's 3.5). I have "magic" analgesic cream left over from a blood test so my plan is to put this on a few hours before so it's less painful. But... I'm not sure where the jabs are or how many! To those whose kids have had them - can you remember how many jabs and where they were (arms or legs). Dreading it now he's old enough to understand what's going onSadThanks for your help!

Dd had both arms jabbed, but can't remember if it was 2 or 3 in total. Just a note that dd didn't mind the scratch part, but the last one stung when they actually put the liquid in, so might be worth mentioning to him that he might still feel a little part of it, even with the magic cream

Ours were just 1 but we are in south London so had MMR at 18 months. I think in other areas it's 2 because that is done as part of pre-school booster.

No analgesic needed here, I just told him it would be a scratch that lasted as long as I clapped my hands. It really was super speedy and no side effects at all, he was completely fine!

Forgot to say it was in arm!

Nhs website says 2 injection so likely one in each arm -MMR and 4in1 pre-school booster

That's good to know - thanks @Effram

So I'll put the cream on both arms then.
