    • 2021 August 30, Emily Brookes, “Covid-19 NZ: What to do if your fear of needles is stopping you from getting vaccinated”, in Stuff:
      To distract themselves, trypanophobes might want to watch something on a device, or listen to music with headphones. They might want to bring someone along to talk to – even in level 4, that could be a member of their bubble – although Wells-Morris said the most common distraction was simply chatting to the vaccinator.
