Anxiety about needles and injections affects as many as 2 out of 3 children and 1 out of 4 adults; this anxiety can contribute to dreading, delaying, or avoiding vaccinations, even when the importance of preventing illness is understood. The good news is that there are safe, effective, and practical steps that those who administer vaccines and vaccine recipients or their caregivers can take to reduce vaccination-related pain and anxiety and increase confidence in vaccination. In this free, live, 1-hour webinar hosted by Immunize.org, Improving the Vaccination Experience: Reducing Pain and Anxiety for Children and Adults, we will learn more about the principles behind vaccination pain and anxiety and simple evidence-based strategies for implementing these principles developed and promoted by the experts behind the organization HELP Eliminate Pain in Kids and Adults. Their work has been used by the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health Canada, and others to develop guidelines about reducing vaccination pain.
