I am pulling my hair out with one of my employees. He has a chronic chest complaint and should be considered extremely clinically vulerable. He is also one of the world's biggest hypochondriac and his wife is worse than him - however he is a good employee and I want the best for him.
His wife had a reaction to the vaccine - Astra Zeneca I think - and so won't have the second dose - my understanding is that the evidence is any reaction to the second dose is less than the first reaction.
He won't have the first dose as he doesn't want a reaction of any sort. He has seen the effects on a family member of Covid, he knows my father in law died from it, another member of staff was really groggy with it and he knows that if he gets Covid he is liable to have, at best, a poor outcome but he will not have any of the vaccines in case he gets a headache. I have offered to take him to the appointment, given him information about the vaccines -I just can't understand some people.
