My daughters the same with her HPV jabs. She's in pain for a good 24 hours :/

I point blank told my mum i wasn't having it when they sent a form in the post asking her to sign saying i could. I have a severe phobia of needles, I've even fainted once seeing a stranger on TV have a needle its that bad. I was told i really needed it with having asthma but nah didn't have it. Felt sorry for my mates all going off one by one to get their needle and coming back holding their arms but relived it weren't me.

With loads of respect, I'd really suggest you get it. You do not want TB if yu have asthma.
I know that where I live they stopped giving it for years and then re-introduced it just recently. The reason it was re-introduced was because we had a much higher community of people from countries with high incidence of TB and, all of a sudden, we had actual outbreaks of TB in schools - something that hadn't happened in nearly 50 years. It's becoming quite prevalent again.
If you think a pinch in the arm is bad, try a bout of TB. Get the jab.
