Needle phobia and COVID

Posted By bargainqc33

"Needle phobia and COVID"

About: Northampton COVID Vaccination Clinic

(as a service user),

I have an extreme needle phobia. I knew that I had to get the Covid vax to be safe but just kept putting it off.

I decided to work on my phobia by reprogramming it, months of work.

Mary Kate, our clinic nurse, went out of her way to accommodate my needs and was successful in delivering the vaccine with no fuss and lots of care and compassion.

Hello bargainqc33

Thank you for taking the time to share your story and for getting vaccinated to keep yourself and our community safe.

It was very heartening to hear how Mary-Kate used her skills to ensure you were comfortable and reassured whilst receiving your COVID vaccination. Across the Midwest region, our teams are committed to working with our consumers to overcome any hesitancy they may have with obtaining the vaccine. I will take great pleasure in sharing your kind comments with Mary-Kate and the entire COVID Vaccination team, who will greatly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you again for sharing your story on Care Opinion.

Kumar Deep
