I had a glass blood test pricked by a piece of glass in the 90s is that normal

I remember when I was a little girl and my mom had to hold my finger down while a doctor cut my finger to collect blood sample was that normal or was that how they use to collect blood test ? I tried to google it I just remember a lot of weird shady things about shots a medicine in the 90s. Like in the 2000s I remember a lot of kids lineing up in the school library to recieve a shot in the arm in the middle of school hours? That’s the creepy weird crap I remember about my child hood and now I homeschool my child I will be there through his whole child hood I’m
Not letting strangers teach and be around my child.

A finger pick test technically could be by anything sharp and sterile - glass seems an odd choice though as there is a risk of splinters. You still get vaccines at school lol at my school we got them in the gym

@Loveallot12 I remember having finger sticks but they used a needle. I don’t remember getting any vaccines except at my pedi

There are several tests in which a finger prick is the norm. It probably wasn't glass. Usually it's a small needle or a lance.
It's not common to receive shots in school but who knows what vaccine it was and who the medical professional was that was responsible for administration. Your parents would have to give consent.
