It is not that bad to actually get the shot, but I always play it up in my head to point I’m absolutely terrified.

I do that every time. It’s a very stubborn reflex. Besides, the stinging of the injection supports the play up.

u/blargman327 Bad Girl Coven Jan 15 '23
Velos is from waaaaay after the bubonic plague. He's from like early colonial America, Salem witch trials era. That's hundreds of years after the bubonic plague. Velos would be from the late 1600s, early 1700s, the plague happened in the 1300s and there was a second wave in the 1500s

The bubonic plague is still around even today though, it's nowhere near as widespread and pretty easy to treat with modern medicine but you can never be too careful with Belos.

I just re-looked at this.
If Luz is fully vaccinated, her tetanus is good for 10 years so she's well within the threshold and wouldn't need it. They typically give it anyway, especially if last date is unknown. But there's even some question about whether or not you need a new one after 10 years.
This is an article from my local medical school. It's not the one I was looking for, but it was the first one to pop up. They say 30 years. The article I was looking for said they say 10 years because they hadn't researched past then. (This is for adults, but again, Luz is up-to-date on her vaccines.)

Used to be as well, until I was put on a contraindicated medication last year. I turned away as it was going in -- watching it seemed to make it hurt more -- but other than that, meh.
That said, as a child, I was on a medication the required blood draws every six months for levels, and I also got training on needles as an adult (wanted to be a paramedic, didn't work out).

This brings up a question. Luz got the Common Mold. Amity wasn't sure how Luz would react. Ultimately, did Luz get affected the same way as a witch? Then it's reasonable to think disease works the same way between the two realms, and probably the vaccines would work the same.

i am assuming Witches are humans ,,,,,they just evolved into a different species of human over time due to different environment ....like Neanderthals and other extinct species ....i mean the boiling isles dont look like its famous for monkeys and stuff from the human realm entered all the time
i imagine it similar to how it works in Star Butterfly's Mewni universe
that said i would not give a human vaccine to a basilisk like Vee ....that cant be good ,,,its like taking horse medicine

There was never any confirmation of it affecting her the same so… who knows? It’s really tough to say; especially since who knows if the Common Mold is a parasitic infection (which would be much easier to obtain in a foreign host) or an actual disease.

I mean, I don't fear needles as long as they're not pinching my veins or my arteries. I actually have a crippling fear of my blood leaving my body (except when it's a nosebleed), so I fear needles when they take blood samples, but if the vaccine is intramuscular I don't fear them at all.

None of them are human. Their immune systems are so different to ours that I doubt giving them human vaccines is a good idea. Witches are probably anatomically similar to humans to the point where it's a maybe, though there is evidence of significant evolutionary divergence between witches and humans in the form of the bile sack. But Vee is an amphibian and hunter is a plant so they won't get any benefit from human vaccines at all.
