33. 6 Real Stories of Vaccine Hesitancy

EPISODE 33 Today’s episode is a bit different from our normal episodes, and I’m excited for you to hear it. I’m talking with six different women from my community who are generously sharing their stories with us. Some of these women grew up in a household that did not receive vaccinations.  Others became skeptical of vaccines at some point in their life, but later changed their mind. With all the differing opinions on vaccines, I believe it’s important to have this open dialogue and listen to each other’s questions and opinions. If you are on the fence about getting vaccinated, you may enjoy hearing these honest stories and understanding how these women came to the decision to get the COVID vaccine and what the turning points were for them. In this episode we discuss: -Common reasons that parents decide not to vaccinate their children -Why people change their stance on vaccines -A reminder that all parents are trying to do what’s best for their children -How differing opinions on vaccinations can cause turbulence in families -Getting accurate and unbiased information from medical professionals SHOW NOTES: lynzyandco.com Connect with me on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
