Tamlyn Freedman is a recent Master of Science graduate of the department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Toronto. At the age of three, she had an aversive experience getting a vaccine, which led to a deep fear of needles for the entirety of her childhood. It was a natural progression for her to then pursue research programs exploring the ways to improve the school vaccination experience for youth. Under the supervision of Dr. Anna Taddio, her MSc project examined the impact of ‘The CARD (Comfort-Ask-Relax-Distract) System,’ which was adapted from a clinical practice guideline to help mitigate vaccine fear, pain, and dizziness in children.
