22 year old daughter's fear of vaccination

Spacemonkey

Hi there. This is my first post here!

I have a 22 year old daughter with Asperger's. She works in a primary school, just for an hour a day as it's all she can cope with, and I'm very proud of her as  she's been able to continue going to work throughout the whole period of the pandemic.

However, with the vaccinations now in full swing, I am very worried as she is adamant she won't have a vaccination (after a traumatic injection aged 5 when she darn nearly attached a very nice nurse!). She says she can "feel the vaccination in her" and won't even consider having one now.

Could her employer ultimately insist she have a vaccination to be able to continue working?

Could she claim exemption due to her Asperger's?

Any advice or suggestions welcome, thanks!

  • good advice...about the bridge... people are so crazed about the vaccine, there should be a large contingent of teachers who refuse it. what is the government going to do ---- round them up, jail them, bind them down, inject them? i just had my vaccination yesterday. it's difficult - for some on the spectrum. i'm spending the whole couple daze recovering, and i had no side effects to speak of.

    i would think a dispensation for asd would be quite the reach.
