Wuss - if a needle pierces your skin it will bleed you big numpty

But sounds like she hit the arm at an angle, you'll have a big bruise tomorrow!

but it never has before !! - maybe she was just tired after a whole morning of jabbing !

Really does depend on how the needle went in - immunisations normally use tiny needles so unless it went in slanted it wouldn't bleed, unless you did what I did (I'm a numpty too) and roll up your sleeve causing the blood pressure in your arm to build up so you get a mini geyser effect

oh,I just slipped my top off my shoulder - think it was just an unusual angle - no harm done - just a bit alarmed to see big red mark on my sleeve !
