As staff members working in health and social care settings, you will be offered a free vaccine to fight flu this winter season. In addition, staff can also book to have the Covid-19 vaccine booster (if eligible). We know how important it is to protect yourself, patients, colleagues, and your loved ones.
However, if you struggle with needle phobia, you might want to avoid being vaccinated. We can help you.
Did you know, needle or medical anxiety is very common, affecting at least one in 10 people, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
So if you have needle phobia but want to be vaccinated, you can discuss your difficulties with a Keeping Well wellbeing professional. Just like Neil did - read his story of how he overcame his fear.
