ok well I know its kinda cliche but...try not to think about it...really concentrate on some thing else...and just ignore it as much as you can...and as for africa I don't know what its like but all I know is I might need those shots because imma go to the 2010 world cup in south africa =]

The more pain you expect, the less it will hurt.

go in there have your mom or who ever is taking you to the doc tell them you don't want to see the needle hold your arm out and put your head against the wall look right at the wall and don't think of the needle think of something cool and happy then have them tell you when its all done also ice your arm a lot before you go so it is some what numb

good luck
