on a lighter note, my 18-year old just got her first shot two days ago. My 20year old will start her series this week. The 20-year old heard from several of her sorority sisters that it’s one of the most painful vaccinations given. My 18-year old definitely agreed with this opinion. Any explanation as to why this might be so? Or anything the girls can do to lessen the pain prior to the injection other than the typical ibuprofen/icing of the area? My younger daughter says her bicep still smarts when someone hugs her (she graduated today, so there was lots and lots of hugging, etc.).
