Children are the marvellous creations of God and the most valuable beings on earth. We must give more importance to them because they are the one among vulnerable groups. Vaccination pain is an unpleasant sensation for infants that cannot be felt by others. A new research was done on the pain suffered from vaccination by infants. The most efficacious distraction techniques are with a combination of Five S’s techniques which are easier and more effective techniques to comfort infants and ease their vaccination pain. This comfort which is given to the babies is very significant and is called SOOTHING - reducing discomfort. The only solution for the infants undergoing this pain is to practice non- pharmacological management that is one bundle of tricks known as 5Ss.
