Anger and fears, sentence 11

Before a vaccination (in Britain often called a «jab») you can tell the nurse you are scared, look away, breathe out slowly and hold a hand; the sting lasts a second and the vaccine protects you from serious illness.

Who acts: vaccination, you, sting, vaccine · What happens: call, tell, be, look away, breathe out, hold · To what, where: jab, nurse, hand, you · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Anger and fears» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (vaccination, you, sting, vaccine), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
