Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how watching the Olfatín Project video affects young children's perception of pain during vaccination using the Wong Baker Faces® scale.
- Conducted as a randomized trial with 4,591 children, participants were divided into groups where some watched the Olfatín video while others either watched a different video or no video at all before receiving their vaccinations.
- Results showed no significant pain differences among the groups, indicating the LAIV vaccine is painless for children and supporting the use of Olfatín's video to improve their vaccination experience.
