Jimmy Goes to the Emergency Department e-bog

Let's face it, children hate needles! Shortly after a child is born, he receives his first vaccination. From the age of two months until the age four or five years, the child receives numerous vaccinations before entering kindergarten. Approximately 60 percent of well child health visits involve vaccinations. The vast majority of these are given by injection, which, of course, require a needle to administer. Kids are smart, even at a very young age. It doesn't take them long to associate a doctor with the pain of a needle. It's no wonder they start to fuss and fume when the doctor enters the exam room. Read this story and discover how five-year-old Jimmy Meserve deals with his fear of needles when he has to visit the local emergency department.
