MVEC has recently updated our reference page on needle anxiety and phobia. The updated reference page provides recommendations for managing needle anxiety and needle phobia across age groups.

This reference page is intended to be helpful for for individuals experiencing needle anxiety or needle phobia, caregivers/parents/support people for individuals who need support, and vaccine providers.

MVEC acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we live, work and educate. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas.
