Go Nakamura | Getty Images/TNS FACING THE FEAR For the millions of Americans who have some fear of needles, there are ways to help yourself cope, say experts. • Put it in perspective. Be positive about the reasons you are getting the vaccine and remember that the pain will be short-lived, like a stubbed toe, said Thea Gallagher, director of the clinic at the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania. For those getting the two-dose regimens, “be objective about how the first one went,” she said, “and that you got through it.”

Bottom line: Many people don’t like needles, and that could further slow vaccination efforts as winter turns to spring when supplies are expected to multiply and efforts to get the hesitant to sign up for a dose will intensify.

How Southern states are addressing mental health crisis over COVID

Calls have not stopped at the state crisis line run by Mental Health of America in Greenville, South Carolina. Their team of trained volunteers has handled more than 30,000 calls from people across the state in crisis or seeking help managing everyday stress and anxiety over the past year. Calls are lasting longer and are coming in from people of all ages. “The stress levels of our callers are extremely high,” said Susan Smyre Haire, the director of community engagement and development at the organization. Haire expects that call volume “to increase exponentially.” The call center received grant funding from Vibrant Emotional Health, the nonprofit administrator of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, to expand services from city to state as the pandemic took hold last year.
