The Canadian guideline released on 21 September includes rapid injection, feeding for infants, topical anaesthetics, and distractions such as music or toys.<\/p>\n

It addresses distress during the needle procedure, not vaccine ingredients or infection protection, and options should be chosen for the person\u2019s age and situation.<\/p>\n

What is the evidence base?<\/h2>\n

The update covered 47 clinical questions; five linked systematic reviews included 201 studies. Evidence was concentrated in high-income countries and infants, and many studies carried high risk of bias.<\/p>\n

Practical options<\/h2>\n

Clinicians can consider rapid injection. For infants up to 12 months, breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, sweet solutions or pacifiers are options; topical anaesthetics apply across ages, while music, digital tools, toys or games can distract older recipients.<\/p>\n

This is not a compulsory checklist<\/h2>\n

The CARD frame\u2014Comfort, Ask, Relax, Distract\u2014emphasises choosing beforehand. Evidence certainty varies, and medical history, allergies and local clinical rules still come first.<\/p>\n

Next check<\/h2>\n

WHO has a 2015 position and the Canadian update is expected to inform WHO discussion in 2027. Local resources and age-specific evidence should be checked before broad implementation.<\/p>\n
