[quote=Anonymous]Our mid-20s nephew didn't get the vaccine unt a couple of weeks ago. He was concerned about possible long-term effects, plus he felt like he was already being safe by wearing a mask, etc. (and his mom has always leaned a little toward the hippie crunchy vaccine-skeptical side). He's young and healthy, but he works outside the home and lives with his elderly grandparents and his aunt. All vaxxed, but my SIL had a heart transplant a decade ago and takes immunosuppresant drugs, so we don't know how effective her vaccine response was. It took a concerted effort from the extended family (including his same-age cousins) of acknowledging his fears but also explaining the science and the danger he could be putting SIL in. Much to everyone's relief, he finally got it. I think it helped that his reluctance was not a political or idealogical stance but caused more by not really understanding the science behind the vaccines and fear of the unknown.[/quote]
