Let whoever is administering the shot know that you've had a hard time with shots in the past. It's not unusual for people to have extremely phobic reactions and I'm sure there will be a way they can accommodate it.
I haven't had mine yet, but I know people who have had the Pfizer and the Astrazeneca and they all said the actual shot itself didn't hurt at all.
I find not looking helps. Ask if you can sit down for a little bit after your shot, breathe deeply, and when you do stand up, do it slowly. You'll need to hang around at least 15mins after, so don't rush yourself.
I’m scared of the covid jab

Good luck. You're doing the right thing.
