Mornings,
You can get Emla at your local pharmacy and it costs about R45. For it to work properly (i've used it for a range of things, from for LO's vacs to IPL) you will need to put it on at least 60mins prior to the vax being administrated. use a sufficient amount (1/4 tube) - moenie dit te veel invryf nie, moet nog 'nat lyk' en cream op hê - and cover with the patch. remove the patch once nurse it about to admin vacs. wipe the area dry and let the nurse clean the area and do her thing. PS make sure you know on which arm/leg babay will get his vacs (they rotate it everytime). also give some panado an hour or hour and half prior to the vacs - that also helps.
