Someone in your household refuses to be vaccinated

No one likes shots.

I am pro vaccine but I see valid reasons why young adults aren't vaccinating.

I personally wouldn't kick a kid out because they don't want to get the vaccine. But that's just me.

ITA. It would be an issue in our house, for sure. 

Employers can require their employees to get the shot, so I can certainly require people living in my house to do it.

He’s an adult. Living with his parents isn’t a right, it’s a privilege. And, in my house, at least, privileges come with responsibilities. They have to help around the house, they have to be respectful, and they can’t exhibit behavior that is harmful to others in the house. Just like I wouldn’t let them smoke in my home, because of the potential health risks to the rest of us.

myshelly, you seem ignorant on how this vaccine works.

Vaccination would be a requirement to continue living in my home.

Sometimes you have to pull up your big boy pants and do things you dont want to do. This is a massive public health issue and it is not the time to be selfish.

That would be a big problem for me , we are not the my house my rule type ,it’s our house .
But my kids would not be allowed to jeopardize the health of my husband and me because he is scared of a little needle .

VISITS. I would be happy to visit with my unvaccinated adult child after they moved their freeloading, selfish ass out. That’s different than living with them.

If he gets Covid, will he care for himself since it’s his body? His decision could create an avoidable burden. 

In my house it would be best if he left, since even a cold has kicked off weeks or months of symptoms in me, and a hospitalization once. That aside, his not caring that he could be an asymptomatic carrier who could make others sick or die would make for a strained relationship.

My almost 96-year-old mother-in-law got covid and it was a young, healthy, unvaccinated person who had to have given it to her - one of three people who spent time in her home. She recovered after a hospitalization and rehab in a nursing home.  So my tolerance for those who just don’t want to is not high. 

I'm phobic too, so anxiety about side effects and the damn needle was sky high. So I met virtually with a hypnotherapist a few days beforehand to learn a new visualization or suggestion or beef up what I’ve done in the past. 

This is a tough one that no doubt many families are going through. 

But they and you were a risk already. Unless no one left the house for work/school/life, then everyone was already a risk factor.

COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections reported to CDC​​ As of April 13, 2021, more than 75 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since December 14, 2020. During the same time, CDC received 5,814 reports of vaccine breakthrough infections from 43 U.S. states and territories. There have been 74 deaths.

I am not going to live with someone that refuses to get vaccinated now that it is available.

It is a matter of safety here. I'm very high risk and my adult kids needed to get vaccinated in order to come home. I feel terrible that these choices had to revolve around my health, but that's the way it is.

For me it depends on the make up of the household. If someone lives there and is at high risk then anyone staying under that roof should be vaccinated. My current living situation: nobody at high risk, so I wouldn't mandate anyone living here to get it if they didn't want it. I let my kids decide if they want it. So far one is and one isn't. Neither live with me though so I don't have to make a decision one way or another. Now if I were caring for a family member who was at high risk, like earlier stated, anyone else joining the household would have to have it.

My house, my rules. No vaccine, find a new place to live.

My Dh isn’t going to get vaccinated. I plan to let him continue to live here. I understand his concerns- I wasn’t sure I was going to do it either, or at least I thought I might wait longer, but I changed my mind.
