I understand, it’s not an easy thing to have that responsibility. Everyone wants to do the best for their family. There is no silver bullet, it’s not possible to have total foresight. I guess all you can do is get all the reputable information you can and weigh it against what you know about their personal circumstances. Best of luck to you and your parents.
- xiphias2 6y agoThanks! Right now they don't trust the Chinese/Russian vaccines, only vaccines approved by the EU, and I also prefer them to wait a few more months in their apartments. The problem is that once they accept a vaccine, they can't get another type, as only one type of vaccine is allowed per person because of the current vaccine shortage in the world.
- kyriakos 6y agoI'm on the same boat with one of my parents going to get vaccinated tomorrow but without knowing which vaccine before going to the vaccination center. I still think its safer to get the vaccine anyway since the side effects are mild and only last for 24 hours. Even if it doesn't give a very high percentage of protection it at least makes it less likely to result into need of hospital or worse. Shortages will eventually be overcome and new versions for the new viral variants will be out anyway in the meantime I believe its best to improve our loved ones quality of life. I assume we'll all be still taking precautions for a long time even after we all get vaccinated. It's similar to wearing a mask then, decreases the chances of getting sick but it's not 100%
