i don't know about the flu shot because i've never had one, but gardasil (cervical cancer shot) isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. they can put it in your hip or shoulder (i recommend hip). the needle isn't too bad, just a prick, the medicine going in doesn't hurt, it just feels weird, and you're a little sore afterward. that's pretty much it. i'm horribly afraid of needles too, and i didn't think it was that bad.
ADDED:
if you're really that scared, try taking some tylenol before you go. i didn't the first time, but i did the second time and i wasn't as sore afterwards. honestly it isn't bad. it's worse than some vaccinations, but not by much, you'll be fine.
