Covid vaccines for adults with Autism - opinions

IrishInManchesterUK

I’ve been reading a lot of stuff about the Covid vaccines and I’m wondering what people’s opinions are on this, especially on Covid vaccine mandates and/or if people with autism feel more under pressure to take the vaccines? - living in the U.K. 20 years and having extended family in my native Republic of Ireland, I got some of the vaccines on the NHS in order to comply with the Irish HSE rules, especially as I pass through Holyhead in Wales, when I do travel home on SailRail or “coach and sail” via Dublin - I’m not sure about the boosters (3rd and other shots) but if I’m interacting with the NHS to receive Autism support, will this be a basic requirement or mandate to access such support? I know that in some parts of Ireland where the Gardai (Irish police) rigidly enforce the HSE mandates, while one can still use the NHS vaccine passport app, the Gardai will check to see that it’s up to date

  • I work in an NHS hospital outpatient department we don’t check whether patients have had vaccines, we definitely aren’t refusing people face to face care if they’re not vaccinated. From now on I think only healthcare staff and the elderly will be eligible for boosters, maybe also the clinically vulnerable. It’s definitely not gone away and likely never will. You can’t be forced to have vaccines, they actually refused to give my daughter her 2nd dose because they weren’t sure she’d relax enough and there was a risk of the needle breaking
