I'm 24 weeks pregnant, the pregnancy has not been straight forward but happily Baby and I are relatively healthy but seen by a consultant every 2 weeks.
SIL wants to visit from abroad with 2 unvaccinated children (teenagers) she is an anti vaxxer but has had 3 vaccines herself

They want to come stay with us, straight from the airport before quarantining for 2 days and before 2 day PCR test.
Aibu to not want to share a house with them until they've got negative PCRs?

@MrsTerryPratchett

Where are they coming from? Many teenagers have had more than one vaccine, never mind none!
I am not sure what you mean by this.

My 15 year old is unvaccinated because they only offer the vaccine to over 18s where we live.

@TinyTroubleMaker

If you are vaccinated, why are you bothered whether they are? Your vaccine protects you.
This. But even if you are concerned the vaccine won't work, won't they all be tested to get into the UK if they are coming from overseas? I guess there's a small chance they could get something on the plane, but presumably everyone who gets on the plane is tested too.

But in the end it's your house, your rules, and I'd be quite offended if someone criticised your caution and put it down to "hormones".

@marcopront

If you're still where you used to be that should change very soon. There was an announcement yesterday.

Not sure where the OP's relatives are coming from, but countries not vaccinating teenagers (at least countries relatively near geographically) to the UK are almost non-existent. The UK is the outlier as far as lagging behind for teenage vaccines.

Won’t they have had to do tests before getting on the plane anyway?

Honestly, this wouldn’t worry me as presumably you have been vaccinated.

That's why I asked. Many places are vaccinating 5 and up.
