afraid of needles

I did not regular visitor to Doc. I am afraid of needles.. I don't know why I feel I will be in risk because of taking injection (needle stick injuries, false assumptions about health workers, etc).

How to make sure nurse/provider understand my worries .. I decided to take Hep. immunization but a good factor of fear is in my mind, that it is unnecessary step..Please help??

Do I need to take HIV/Hep test after taking blood tests or immunizations ??

I went to get immunizations and vaccines but I got anxiety pills... I don't know why doctor did not gave me immunization. They draw blood for cholestrol..etc testing.
