Here's my view on vaccinations. Never thought much about them until I had my first child, 10 weeks prematurely. I was a little apprehensive about him having the jabs. Then I talked to a Mum whose little boy was in the next incubator to my son. Her son had a little brain damage at birth and wasn't advised to have vaccinations. His mum cried because she couldn't do this important thing to keep him safe. I chose to have my son vaccinated to help keep her son and others like him safe.
When the scares over various vaccines happened I chose to still have my sons vaccinated as I knew someone who had not allowed her child to have the whooping cough vaccine. Every time there was a whooping cough outbreak this mum panicked and kept her child indoors. I figured that if you make the decision to say Yes then you only have to make that decision once. If you say No you have to keep on saying it every time there's a scare and if you're not strong enough to keep saying No then you may as well say Yes at the start.
Re Covid vaccine. I am a little apprehensive, but will have it. It's the decent thing to do when I know there are vulnerable people around who may not have that choice. I have already have the virus and would not want to go through that again. It's the worse illness I have ever had. I thought I was going to die. I have had flu 3 times, bronchitis more times than I can remember, bronchial pneumonia, measles, chicken pox, mumps, rubella, scarlet fever and food poisoning. Covid19 was worse than all of those.
