KITCHENER Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine could cause anxiety from people with a fear of needles. “Even just talking about it, I get a little uneasy,” said Guelph resident Terri Rowan, who is needle phobic. Rowan said symptoms include a fast heart rate, sweaty hands, light-headedness and nausea. “It’s been a life-long thing for me.” So when it came to getting her COVID-19 vaccine in April, she took weeks to mentally prepare and had a friend drive her to the appointment. “The first thing that I said when I sat down, more as a warning to the person giving the vaccine ‘You should be aware, I’m really needle phobic and there’s a chance I might pass out,’” said Rowan.
