Are you one who’s itching to get vaccinated but scared of needles? A viral TikTok video showing a teeanger’s experience may change your mind.
In the video, the teen was visibly distressed and nervous as the medical staff prepared to plunge the needle into his arm.
In fact, he was so frightened that he was seen clutching the sleeves of the vaccination centre (PPV) staff’s uniform.
The staff tried their best to calm the teen’s nerves by assuring that it didn’t hurt and told him to look away from the needle.
Tak sakit, tak sakit. Jangan tengok.”
However, their attempts proved to be fruitless as the teen began struggling and tried to leave his seat. In the end, four of boy’s friends had to hold him down as a staff member administered the shot.
After the ordeal, the crowd started cheering for the teen for successfully getting his jab as he smiled from ear to ear in relief.
One netizen praised the teen’s bravery and how his friends and staff members did their best to assure him.
The TikTok video has since garnered over 74k likes.
To those who fear needles greatly, we salute you for your bravery.
