How many shots (injection) have you had in your life?

I can't even remember how many shots I've had in my life. My mom is sort of paranoid so she makes us get all these immunizations and booster shots. When I was in high school, I suddenly began to get really itchy, especially in school, so my mom took me to an allergist to get a skin test (which also involved getting pricked by a needle more 30 or more times). We found out that I was allergic to so many types of pollen, and after taking anti-allergy medicine everyday for like 2 years, my mom decided to just get me desensitized. Every week for a few months, I would get a shot on my arm, and then after that every two weeks, and then every three weeks, and so on. I completely lost my fear of needles after that. Before I was so afraid of getting shots that I would bawl at the doctor's office every time. I remember hiding out in school once after my mom signed me up to get immunized at the nurse's office, but it turned out to be just an oral vaccine LOL.

Hi oyenkai, i had only eight injections in my life. because i am afraid of injections

I don't know exactly how many I have had in my life oyenkai but it's been a few! In Australia, vaccinations are a common practice and we all had to line up every few years or so to get them and it was even done in Primary School by Doctors that used to visit! We all had to get slips signed for approvals then off we'd go. There were many tears on those days I can tell you! The one injection I HAVE had a number of times is the one for tetanus. I was pretty accident prone so every time I cut my foot on a piceof metal or stood on a rusty nail I was taken off to the Doctor for a tetanus shot. These ones are quite painful from memory too.

That's a whole lot of shots! I don't mind the pain of the needle or getting an injection. But what I do hate is when I actually watch the needle going into my skin and the person pushing the medicine into me or extracting blood from me. After seeing that, I feel really dizzy and my stomach feels really bad. There was a time when I had Dengue. I was confined for 2 weeks and like you, I also had my blood extracted every 6 hours. They'd wake me up in the middle of the night just to get some blood. I don't think I've reached 100 shots yet but I think I've had around 50 or more shots in my life.

I dont know how many i had when i was a child.. i remembered when i was a kindergarten i had 1, for measles i think.. and this college.. i had 2.. anti-Hepa B.. then they took some of my blood for screening.. thast all i remember..
