Best Answer

A few health care providers use EMLA cream to numb the arm before vaccinations. Call your health care provider to find out if this treatment is available for you. This numbing cream can reduce the discomfort of the needlestick, but your arm may still be sore the next day. Most people just do the shot without the numbing. The shot hurts less than treatment of genitals warts or abnomal cells in the cervix or anus.

How do you make the HPV vaccine hurt less?

I've had my first jab and I'm having the second one tomorrow. When I had it it hurt a bit but you need to relax your arm - I did and it didn't hurt but my friends didn't and their's did hurt. Practice it before you have the jab - if you don't tense your arm it is much less painful! Think about something you like and get yourself a treat (like chocolate) for afterwards. Pinch your leg really hard so that it takes your mind of the injection pain!
