I convinced one of my best friends to get her COVID-19 vaccine, and I’m so happy! I found out why she was hesitant, and worked to help alleviate her specific worries and sent her some reliable, good info.
People have different reasons for being skeptical or hesitant about vaccines. I asked and listened to her to find out why, and she listened to me because we have a good relationship and care about each other.
Reach out to the people in your life who haven’t been vaccinated and find out why. Ask questions with patience and empathy. Vaccines have become political and there are a lot of strong emotions, fears, and often valid skepticism and mistrust.
While communicating with her I found a couple good resources that answer some questions she — and I’m sure others — have. Red Cross Canada has an accessible FAQ you can share with your friends. redcross.ca/how-we-help/cu…
This is another good article you can share. Some Q it answers:
-How can the vaccines be safe and effective if they were developed so quickly?
-Are the vaccines “experimental?”
-Will the mRNA vaccines change my DNA? #covid19ab #covid19

Another good one from Reuters. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
My colleague @estolte also did a very through Covid-19 vaccine Q&A with a LOT of info for Albertans. Worth a read and a share too! Here’s some of the questions it answers: #yeg #abhealth google.ca/amp/s/edmonton…
