Abstract
⺠1907 children and parents were surveyed to determine prevalence of self-reported needle fear and impact on vaccine adherence. ⺠Needle fear was present in 2/3 of children and 1/4 of adults. ⺠Vaccine non-adherence due to needle fear occurred in 1/12 children and adults alike. ⺠Pre-emptive analgesia is recommended to prevent the harms of unmitigated pain.
