As far as flu shots and any other injection. After a flu shot years ago that I did not feel whatsoever, I asked the tech that gave it to me what the secret was? She said that when the area is cleaned with alcohol, she let the alcohol completely evaporate before puncturing the skin. Because it's the alcohol being taken into the "wound" that hurts. I have had this conversation every time since, to see if the person administering the injection was aware and it is surprising how many aren't. But if done properly, it makes a difference.

I hope this is what was being looked for and helps.
