Are there any benefits?
The research we have proposed will have direct benefit for all children in South Australia. Children that participate in our study will receive best standard care or enhanced care when receiving their flu vaccination. Additionally, our research may have future benefit for the children that participate in our study by decreasing the fear of needles in future procedures and potentially preventing disabling phobias of needle procedures that can occur.
