Having a wobble about my sons being vaccinated

They're 18 & 19 and have been invited for vaccinations because they are carers for DH who is bedbound.

Now, I only asked if they should have it, I didn't push for it. They do help around the house and contribute to his care, but he's not dependent on them as long as I am well, anyway. The GP said absolutely and arranged it for them.

DSs are of course adults and could/should be organising this themselves. They're happy to go along with it as I've organised it, but there's no way they would have bothered if I hadn't.

Everything I've heard is that young people, particularly those who've had the virus (they have, I brought it home from work) are most likely to suffer the worst side effects. Most of my colleagues have been vaccinated because of our work and some have been really very ill.

I'm going to feel awful if they both need time off work. DS1 won't get paid and DS2 has only just got to go into work, which he really needs after a year wfh and barely seeing a soul.

Remind me why they should have it despite possibly already having some immunity, being very low risk for serious illness and DH already being vaccinated?

Shame to see someone reporting me for misinformation - I'm not spreading misinformation. But I'm not going to spend any more time on Mumsnet - if people want to do their research then they need to look at credible websites such as UK Medical Freedom Alliance and HART Recovery Group. Then make up your own mind. I've done plenty of research and I'm not going anywhere near these vaccines. I take good care of my health and also my family's health - remember natural immunity? It does a great job of protecting you. Vaccines are not the only way out of this - that's just the line you've swallowed.
OMG I just had a look at the UK Medical Freedom Alliance website...what a load of rubbish. How can you describe it as credible? One of the doctors is notorious for charging £££ to detoxify autistic children, Lord give me strength.

OP I personally think it's a good idea for your sons to get vaccinated and, as you pointed out, it's up to them. It's only natural for you to worry though, that's our job as mum's xx
