I had these shots a few years ago before I went to Africa. It was no worse than any other injections I have had and I suffered no side effects. So, you should be fine with them.
Tell the nurse that you are scared and see if you can take someone with you who will be able to distract you. Don't be tempted to watch and with the distraction as well it'll be over very quickly. Keep in mind that thinking about it is going to be worse than having the shots.
Good luck.

It's better if you don't know when she's giving you the shot. Most doctors or nurses ask if you want them to count down, but who wants to know how many seconds they have left until a pointy object is jammed in their arm? (Personally I like to look when their giving me a shot, but I'm just weird.)So don't have them count and don't look at the needle. It stings a little but it doesn't hurt that much. Your arm will be a little soar after a couple of hours but that's it. So relax and try not to freak out, everything will be fine.

just don`t look at it. keep telling yourself it doesn`t hurt, and no matter what you do, DO NOT LOOK AT THE NEEDLE. that`s what i do. [= &i never have problems with shots anymore.

I don't know how big the needles are, but I can't imagine they're much larger than a tetanus shot. Tell the nurse or whoever's giving you the shot that you really hate needles- they may do two at once (one in each arm)
Remember (and keep telling yourself) that it'll hurt for just a few seconds and sore for awhile (icepacks work wonders). Plus, you'll be saving yourself from horrible diseases.
