Study Summary

This is a randomized controlled open-label trial. During the study, adolescents scheduled to receive at least one intramuscular (IM) vaccine will receive either Buzzy®, Music, or Buzzy® and Music intervention(s) in addition to standard care to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of these interventions prior to being used in a larger study to assess the effectiveness of the interventions in preventing post-vaccination presyncope and syncope. Feasibility will be assessed according to study staff ability to successfully administer the protocol specified clinic-based interventions and per both study staff and healthcare provider responses to written feasibility assessments. Acceptability will be assessed according to the participant's self-report. In addition, baseline needle phobia and anxiety, post-vaccination pain and presyncope symptoms, and pre- and post- vaccination state anxiety will be assessed per participant written self-report to standardized survey questions.

Primary Outcome

Buzzy® will be applied to and kept on the subjects arm for a minimum of 30 seconds prior to vaccination.
