What Is Needle Phobia?
Fear of needles is very common in children and adults. All children get needles through their regular immunizations. Those with medical illnesses or problems will need to get even more needles for injections or blood work. Most children and adults are able to overcome their fears, and it does not stop them from getting necessary immunizations, injections or blood work. But if the fear is so great that it stops that person from getting needles, then it may be a condition known as ‘needle phobia’.
