This was done at a random clinic.

I know kids are afraid of needles, and who really likes them, so it's good to have have the nasal spray option. I have to say though, I received the flu shot through needle form this year, and it hurt a lot less than the H1N1 vaccine did. I had no achy arm or anything... didn't feel it at all actually (I swear, I didn't even realize they had given me the shot). I also had my tetanus booster at the same visit in the other arm, and that one killed - it felt like a bee sting.
I did get a rash on my chest after the vaccine though. It didn't itch or anything, but it is one of the more common side effects.
