Nephew due to have it today, first lot were top of each arm and leg. I’ve suggested sister uses numbing cream but she’s not sure where to apply (I went with her last time and it was horrendous he’s surprisingly strong!) and can’t get through to the nurse to ask.

thought an overall consensus here might help!
mess it just top of arms this time or legs as well?

Top of arm

Preschool boosters are one in each arm.

No need for numbing cream, it’s not like a blood test as it’s so quick, needle in and out.

Hold tight, jabs done, treat given, job done. No need to turn it into a major event.
