Only one vaccinated in my household

My partner doesn’t want the vaccine neither does my 19 year old son. I fret that either of them might end up in hospital. I don’t nag them to have it as it’s their choice but really do wish they would. Anyone else have different vaccine status’s in their home (not including kids)

I fail to understand their stance to be honest. Are they generally selfish? With a possible big wave coming, I would be tempted to move out. Have they both made their wills, if the worst happened? DH and I revised ours at the start of the pandemic, just in case. Not that it will help with your anxiety, I'm sorry Flowers

Partner thinks he’s bullet proof because he had Covid in the summer. I just don’t want either of them to have regrets with this new variant. I work in the public sector so wasn’t taking my chances. Their are really annoying me

Not my household as I’m the only adult, but one of my parents has now had all 3 and one parent has had none. My siblings household 1 has had theirs and their other half hasn’t had any. Everyone respects the others choice.

@BettyfromBristol that’s a bit extreme isn’t it?

BettyfromBristol · 12/12/2021 21:46

Can your 19 year old move out? And/or your partner? I wouldn't let their selfish attitude be a risk to my health personally. Are they more qualified than the vaccine scientists? One of my DC had Covid in the summer and is taking Tuesday off work to queue for a booster.

Why should OP get her son and partner to move out? She said she is worried about them ending up in hospital. What would moving out achieve?

No don’t want them to move out. Just not sure how to convince them to protect themselves. My son already thinking of ways to evade the nightclub rules. I have anxiety and it doesn’t help at all

Have they made wills because they don’t want to vaccinated? You poor poor woman. I’d get help for that health anxiety. It’s tragic.

My DS (18)won’t have his second due to the myocarditis risk, and I accept his decision.
I’m very pro-vaccination, but he’s an adult so I have to accept it.

Wellbythebloodyhell · 12/12/2021 22:03

I'm the only person vaccinated in my home, 2 dc aren't old enough, 1 dc is eligible & had covid recently but he has no plans to be vaccinated, dh also has no plans to be vaccinated. When ds had covid last month it did not pass on to anyone else in the home, so 3 unvaccinated people didn't catch it from someone covid positive they did not social distance from at all

Newduvet, your post made me chuckle, thank you. Not at all anxious but thank you for your concern Flowers

You sure Bets? The fact you are so scared that you are going to die that you revised your will is so so so sad to me. Sending you love.

They’re adults, it’s not your job to convince them.

But why is your son thinking of ways to evade nightclub rules. I thought if no vaccine they could do an LFT? Wouldn’t he do that if he must go to a nightclub?

My partner is vaccinated. Me and kids are not. I encourage them to get vaccinated although I accept their reasons. Oldest is 18 and other than college isn’t mixing really, he wouldn’t go to a nightclub with the way things are.

I'm not Bets, how condescending. We revised our wills as my DH is CEV and it made sense. My brother is also our solicitor, it wasn't hard to do, we just added a couple of charities which would receive bequests. Not that that is any of your business. Anyway, I'm out, this is derailing the thread. I hope everything works out OK for you OP.

@bettyfromBristol you need help.

It made sense to revise your will? You are naming charities that will benefit if you die from covid? One of the saddest things I have ever read on here. Heartbreaking how utterly terrified people are.

Oh newduvet stop it with the faux concern. You just wanted a dig at betty by pretending it was ridiculous to be prepared for an illness which has killed over 125000 people.

Well most countries do recognise immunity after infection for 6 months at least. Studies have shown that it lasts for over 10 months in the majority and Switzerland have just extended their recognition of immunity after infection to 12 months. He may not be ‘bullet proof’ but reinfection is rare and usually milder. (ONS) Your son, unless he has underlying conditions, is in one of the lowest risk groups. I think you are worrying unnecessarily.

Over 125,000 people died having tested positive within 28 days.

In many cases it didn't kill them, something else did.

@BettyfromBristol managed to shoehorn the fact that they had added charities into their will there. This site is full of virtue signallers, they pop up on every thread

It's fucking ridiculous, as are you, wind your neck in and wake up. Changing your bloody will because of Covid is MENTAL!

My dp hasn't had the vaccine, it irks me but it is his choice, my dd has, because she saw how poorly dp was in comparison to me who was vaccinated (despite being a semi professional athlete we had to call an ambulance for him etc)

However he has now recovered, it's his choice, his body.
