Post #1: 

For this post, briefly interview a parent to ask them: “Why?”

Why or why not did they choose to vaccinate?

When did they do it? Why then?

• Was it easy or hard financially, logistically, emotionally?

What kind of parent?

Your own parent, a relative, a friend, or yourself if you’re a parent.

• REPLY: For this discussion post, I asked my dad of why they choose to get vaccinated. He said he chose to get vaccinated for his own safety. Also, it was a work/travel requirement. For example, when coronavirus was going around, he wanted to get vaccinated in order to prevent himself from getting sick. It being a deadly disease, he believed that getting vaccinated would be beneficial to his health as well. Since Covid-19 was a global health crisis, he also wanted to opt for vaccination to contribute to efforts in controlling the spread of infectious diseases and mitigating their impact. He said it was easy for him to get the Covid-19 vaccines financially and logistically with everything going around on the news and also it being offered for free. However, he said that emotionally it was hard for him because he could not fully trust the source of the vaccines. Also, him hearing that people are getting sick from them made him worry a lot about getting vaccinated.
