You must be going into some sort of medical profession after getting all of those. Why not tetanus though? Might as well get that one too
As for me, I was deathly afraid of them when I was a little kid, they would have to get a 300lb nurse to sit on me because that was the only way they could hold me down.
Once I got past the age of 7 or 8 I got used to it, I'd have to have a booster or blood work done about once a year. Once I had to have blood work twice in a week and I started having this recurring nightmare about the vial breaking and blood shooting out everywhere.
I remember the first time I gave blood, I had mentally prepared for the little needle they use when they draw blood for tests. I had no idea they use a friggin' knitting needle. But I was able to handle it.
The other needle story is when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. They had started the anasthesia and I was starting to feel pretty good. They said they had to start and they were going to give me a shot in my gums. Then I saw the needle, it was almost as big as the needle for donating blood. So I remember asking them if they could wait until I was out, and then saying "nooooooo", I guess thats where I passed out from the gas. I woke up slumped over in a wheelchair drooling on myself.
