No, I don’t buy this “pull the heartstrings to protect grandma” fallacy. For it to be true, the vaccines would have to be highly effective at preventing infection and these vaccines are not highly effective at preventing infections. The Covid vaccine protections stop at the vaccinated individual, with perhaps a side benefit of easing some healthcare system stress due to severe disease prevention.
Also, plenty of studies are out that now that show that the infected, whether vaccinated or not have statistically equivalent viral shedding. You are equally contagious whether vaccinated or not.
If you are that immuno-compromised, you need to take whatever precautions you need to do to protect yourself and not place that responsibility on anyone else.
