Hey,
Unfortunately I tested positive for coronavirus yesterday. My symptoms are mild. My eldest tested negative and I cant do a test on my youngest as he is too distressed when I try but I believe he is positive as he has a cough and a runny nose.
This morning I received a letter from the NHS to invite my eldest son age 11 to receive his 1st dose of the vaccine as he fall into a vulnerable category due to him being a severe asthmatic. I showed him the letter and he said there is no way I am getting a jag. I don’t want the vaccine.
I am triple jabbed and I didn’t hesitate at getting any of my vaccines.
I feel incredibly worried about trying to persuading my child into getting a vaccine. I am so scared he has a severe reaction to the vaccine or worse.
Can I ask what others think? would they encourage their child if the refuse? I am not trying to start a debate I am just looking for some advice. Is there any way my child doesn’t need to get the vaccine?
