I don't mind either of them, but I had a pneumonia shot and my arm is a little discomfort in it, it'll go away and I am ok with that, as for the blood work once in a while that be a little discomfort also and kinda feel like a shot in my arm when they can't find the vein, doesn't happen often but does once in a while, my opinion what are your thoughts?

I don’t mind either. Can no longer get the Covid vaccine because I developed reactions to it. Can’t donate blood either because I was living in England during the mad cow disease period.

As Sean says usual reaction from a kid
Some just don't or won't outgrow it.

I have no problem getting my blood drawn except the time the nurse missed my vein 4 times on one arm and switched to my other arm. It took them 3 tries on the other arm too. So I got 7 shot that day.
