Scared of getting tested for Covid

Nana

Hello everybody, 

I have not been active in the last few months but it is good to be back. 

I have a question and hope that someone can relate to this. My son is absolutely scared of getting tested for covid. A nasal swab is not an option for him. He is always very reasonable but this is something he won't do. Being anxious about things myself I understand it is difficult to overcome fears. I wish it was easier but school requires children to be tested daily if they show cold related symptoms. He was swabbed in the cheeks when we travelled back to Italy last August and that was not a problem! What to do? 

Thank you. 

Nana

  • Hi Nana,

    You could ask for an exemption from testing and vaccination. Call 119 and ask them to send you a form to complete. Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, smallpox and influenza have a long history of safe use and were developed in line with requirements of regulatory agencies. No one knows the long-term harm these rushed so-called vaccines will have on healthy people.
