Yup, my father in law has doctor's orders not to get a bunch of vaccines because of a really horrible outcome from a flu vaccine about a decade ago. At his age we have to be really firm with other medical staff that he not get the flu or covid vaccines because of the risk of real side effects for him specifically.
The rest of us all have our shots because we know they are safe and effective for almost everyone. Except for the extremely rare exceptions.
oh yeah and its super important all of you have them to protect him. Whats the worst in that situation is having a family member who drinks the coolaide and puts grampa at risk.
They exist, but we make sure that they call instead of visit.
