I didn't even feel the needle when I had my flu jab on Monday.

I certainly felt the needle for the blood sample two weeks ago, I still
have the bruise :-?

In my experience it's all down to the skill of the person taking the
blood sample. The last few times when I've been for blood tests the
samples have been taken quickly with no real pain or after effects.
However, I've also had blood samples taken by trainees and that has been
a different experience.

It's much like dentists - some jab a full foot of needle into your gums
and some just scratch the surface. The result is the same with regards
numbing the gums/teeth but one is painful and the other painless.
