The Comfort Promise: We do everything possible to prevent and treat pain. For Every Child. Every Time.
Data show that in both high-income and low-medium income countries, needle pain is consistently rated among the most painful and least well-managed medical experiences for children. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 2 in 3 children and 1 in 4 adults suffer from a strong fear of needles. This fear, often rooted in negative experiences during childhood, leads to healthcare avoidance behaviours and is the leading reason for immunisation non-compliance.
