Do blood tests hurt more or less or the same as vaccines? Because i had 5 vaccines last month..and they didn't hurt that much...and i have to get a blood test soon...and people say blood tests hurt less than vaccines. Is that true? because vaccines don't hurt all that much..

oh gosh :(
i dont want to freak you out, i really dont.
but blood tests hurt me really bad, but thats because i have thin and deep veins :(
but i used to love them when i was littler. hahaha
like, it pinches for a second and then it goes in and you are fine.
i think those hurt less than vaccines.
it depends on what kind of veins you have though.
if you have veisn like mine, its gonna hurt like a bitch. hahaha :P i dotn want to scare you, but it'll hurt :( maybe im just a wimp. haha
but keep your cool.
dont tense up, and if you cry [like me. haha] you cry, just be calm, because if you tense up, they could end up poking you in the wrong spot :(

I've had a lot of both, and I can tell you that vaccines will almost always cause more pain than getting a blood test. When you get a vaccine shot, you're getting something put inside you and that can sometimes cause irritation and bruising. When you get blood drawn, you're getting something taken out of you, and while it may cause bruising as well, the bruises should be insignificant if the person who administers the shot knows what he or she is doing.
Also, the needles that are used to get blood drawn are finer and go in with more ease. The only trouble you may run into is if the person who gives you the shot is incompetent and can't find the vein to stick the needle into. If this is the case, the needle may have to stay inside longer, which will cause some pain. However, this is somewhat of an uncommon problem that happens to only the luckiest of people like me. You really don't have anything to worry about.
Good luck!

I think they both kill. If I had to choose, I would actually say that blood tests hurt less, but they are a little scarier because you can see the blood in the tubes.
Just close your eyes and count to ten. Breathe slowly too.
good luck, you will do fine.
