As a hospital employee, it was highly recommended and it is a matter of time before it becomes mandatory for hospital employees, just like they did with the flu vaccine. However, the vaccine is not 100% effective. Nothing is. For now, it is a personal decision. I’ve come to realize there are certain topics you should never discuss in mixed company i.e. religion, politics, and vaccines.
Not wrong your choice
It’s none of her business, we have a woman here in Perth who had the jab, and she may have to have her spleen removed. Until tests prove it’s safe I won’t be getting it.

It’s your choice but also she’s thinking about her life being at risk when around you her son and grandchildren too
Putting something in your body, that is NOT FDA APPROVED & that no one knows the long term effects are IS completely up to you and your husband. Do not let your MIL or anyone else bully you into it. Do your research, as best as you can & decide for yourselves.
Covid is 98% survivable.
Getting the vaccine does not prevent you from getting it or giving it. Stop with the fear tactics & bs!
Of course it’s your choice. But the consequences are yours too. Unvaccinated people will continue to circulate the virus, giving it more chance to mutate to something our vaccines don’t protect against. You can give it to others and cause their severe illness or death. So as long as you’re comfortable with those things, go ahead. I understand why she is uncomfortable. Your decision to get it or not should be carefully made, weighing the pros and cons and with a healthcare professional’s guidance.

You don’t gotta do it. That’s your choice. Just don’t be mad if she doesn’t invite y’all over as much, and she takes the grandkids less because that is her choice.

Not wrong at all. Your body your choice. People should really not push their beliefs on others…if she’s vaccinated and it works she has nothing to worry about.

She may feel you are wrong. The vaccine is experimental. It’s ok to wait and see the effects. Don’t tell her no. Tell her you are waiting to see how safe it is. Or not.

I am going to get flamed for this but I have had bad reactions to all vaccinations and hate needles. If me getting the vaccination and being able to protect my family, friends and the community, I will suffer the consequences and I am planning to get it done as soon as possible.

No you are not wrong, it’s your choice whether to get it or not. You’re their mother not her. Don’t allow yourself to be bullied into doing something you don’t want to do especially when it comes to your kids.

No. You are your own person, you are an adult. You are a mother. Her being upset that you don’t want the vaccine is her problem, not yours. (I am vaccinated, but feel like it’s a personal al choice for everyone)

No you’re not wrong. My mom wants it to get it as well but I’m pregnant and refuse. She is mad but it is what it is 
Stick to your own beliefs…thus is an untested drug and no one knows what’s down the road with it !Don’t let ANYONE bully you into ANYTHING!!
It’s not her business.
Don’t get that vaccine!!!
Sounds like some cry baby bull💩 to me… get the vaccine, it’s not that big of a deal… if you wanna travel you need it, if you wanna watch a sporting event, or concert you’ll need it… and if I were her, you.wouldn’t be allowed at my house UNTIL you and him got the shot …
If the government is willing to pay you to get a vaccine that is being offered completely free of charge is something you honestly should question getting.
Nope your body your choice
It’s not her business, she should focus on herself.
You also need to consider those around you, for example there’s is a good chance if I caught covid I would die, I have a life changing and limiting disability as well as anaphylaxis to medication, had anaphylactic reactions to other vaccines, type 1 diabetic, asthmatic, broken back and neck, wheelchair user, nearly died several times from pneumonia I need those in society to be vaccinated like myself. The highest hospitalisation and death rate here in UK is 25-35. PS I was absolutely fine after covid vaccine
You are not wrong at all. If you have severe allergic reactions to vaccines, Don’t get the vaccine. I wouldn’t either, dont feel bad about it. Your MIL needs to respect your choice.

Thankful for this thread, I’ve added several judgmental assholes to my block list. No one should force you to put anything in your body. You do what you think is best for your body, I’ll do what I think is best for mine, and so can everyone else. You don’t have to explain your decision either. Those who shame others for choosing a different option can kiss it 
i respect everyone’s own personal choice on what they decide to do with their body, I won’t shame those who got it or didn’t get it.
Tell her to pound sand. Its your bodies not hers. Tell her ut might make yoh infertile and if she ever wants grandkids to shut up. Lol
It’s none of her business. The vaccine isn’t FDA approved and there’s no liability to the manufacturer if you have an adverse reaction. Follow your gut, you can always change your mind later.
My husband and I got the J&J shot a week before the pause no side effects except a sore arm…Got it for my elders and my kids.
You are absolutely not wrong! The more people that do not have the vaccine the better! All the signs are there people are just too blinded by corrupt media to see it! They literally tell you it doesnt work in the first section! It doesnt stop transmission or infection! Then it tells you it makes you more prone to other infections because it surpresses your immune system! Then tells you to take vitamins to up your immune system and help reduce the risk of RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS!
I dont know how anyone is making sense of that 
you are doing the right thing… skip the poison and stick to vitamins! 
In my humble opinion you are absolutely not wrong for making your own choice for yourself. Your MIL is also not wrong for being concerned for the safety of her son and his family.
I’ve had both phizer and was fine
My worry is so many places in some states requiring it is the only issue hotels, stadiums etc. Is my only worry if you want to travel, but I also understand your reasoning behind not getting it for yourself, now has your spouse had reactions, if he hasn’t he should atleast get it
Girl your body, your choice…sounds like she doesn’t want to be in her grandkids lives…not your problem.
But then you could always just identify as a vaccinated person.

This whole “pandemic” has mad ppl crazy.
It’s your choice. She can respect it or not. Either way, it’s a personal choice. I also have a history or serious reactions to the flu shot. Therefore I’m not vetting this one. Your age group isn’t at great risk for death or even showing symptoms so it makes sense younger ppl opt out.
Besides, anyone upset better be up to date on all their shots, which I am, or they don’t care of they spread diseases to others. I can play that game too.

Your body, your life, your decision.
It wont stop you from getting the virus, so her arguments would be invalid if you asked her why she’s so angry.
Go ahead. Ask her why it matters so much to her.

Stay away from your mother in law. She doesn’t need to get sick. It would not be safe to identify as vaccinated, and she’s being reasonable to ask that you get it before seeing her. She probably cares about you and her son. That’s why it matters so much to her.

My boyfriends mom is the same way I feel, although we haven’t officially had that conversation. On top of all our other reasons, I’m pregnant. Likes I’m NOT getting it. Unfortunately you’ll have to deal with it, and hopefully she’ll get past it. I don’t recommend lying, but that’s just me.
Your body your choice. She needs to respect your choices and not push her own agenda

Don’t do it if you don’t want to.
But stay away from her.
She needs to respect your decision to not get it. You need to respect her wishes and not be near her.

If you have a history of severe reaction towards vaccines than do not get it. Your health/life is important to your children. If she don’t understand than let her cry over it. Don’t feel pressured by her.

I certainly wouldn’t do much of anything because my MIL told me to. I personally would have declined the conversation entirely, its not really everyone’s business. You can’t vaccinate the kids so this doesn’t really matter either way. She should just take the necessary precautions and assume that people around here have not gotten the shot. In my opinion, she’s not acting fairly.

We aren’t getting it either:P see how long it is until she speaks with you.
I won’t get me or my children the vaccine either. Its noone’s right to try to push someone to get it either. She will come around.
No! Your Healthcare is YOUR decision, not hers. She can talk at you all she wants, at the end of the day, it’s your body, you footing the bill, and therefore, your choice.
Nope Were not getting it eaither.
Me and vaccines don’t do well.
No one is telling me to do anything.
They don’t want to see me oh well! Get over it or stay gone, couldn’t care less!
No your choice not hers…
Check with your primary care. I believe if you have reactions it was advised you don’t take it. Your boyfriend its uo to him but it is a horrible death. We older people have the same choice and the choice to see people who do or don’t have the shot. I try and stay away from those who haven’t because my health is at risk even with the vaccine.
