Weirdest shot I have ever gotten. The tech put the needle against my skin and just slowly pushed it in. As he was doing it I thought it would hurt longer doing it that way but all I felt was the initial break of skin but mentally it was challenging as I could feel the friction of the needle being pushed in. This is either a new way to administer shots or this guy didn't read Shots For Dummies.
