Travel Tips
ive had tonnes of shots, depends on what it is to where it goes. ill summerise a few

tetenus - butt
yellow fever - arm
rabies - arm
typhoid - arm
hep a and b - arm
antibiotics - arm
polio - oral

most are just a small prick (antibiotics hurt the most actually)
yellow fever made arm a bit numb

dont stress to much most jabs are not that painful Source(s): personal experience

Other Travel Tips
ok, i've had shots for
yellow fever
rabies
japanese encephalitis
typhoid
tetanus
meningitis
hep a
hep b
tb
polio


polio is given orally - used to be the sugar lump - now straight on tongue, ALL the others were in my arm - usuall left arm, or both arms if getting more than one

sat in chair - needle in arm. no probs
typhoid hurt and so does tb (bcg) because tb is sub-cutaneous

they arent that bad - no need to worry
Shots are usually given in the thickest parts of tissue like hips, arms, or butt. Yes they can hurt depending on the thickness of needle and strength of medicine . you could be sore for a few days. Some shots may even produce symptoms. Just follow your doctor's advice.
It hurts for a brief few seconds those shots are meant to save your life and prevent illness a few seconds of pain is worth it
