“Children are overwhelmingly afraid of needles, and studies show that some kids are so afraid of needles that they don’t tell their families or doctors that they are sick or in pain.” — Dr. Stefan Friedrichsdorf, medical director of #UCSF’s Stad Center . We want to end painful injections for every child, every time. Join us in the #OuchlessJab Challenge, which calls on care providers to use simple, age-appropriate steps to reduce needle pain and fear in kids.
