Haven't gotten the vaccine yet, nor do I intend to. I dont really have a problem with it, it's just sad that they're requiring people to take it. My mom had to leave the day care she's worked at for 20 years because they're requiring it. It was either that or weekly covid testing with a religious exempt, and she wasn't going to go through that. This all just sucks
I realize this post is almost 2 months old, and I'm sorry your mom got let go, but it's worth saying that with kids currently unable to receive any of the COVID-19 vaccines, it is absolutely essential for people who work around them to be fully vaccinated. Say what you will about vaccine mandates, when it comes to kids or people at risk, there is no argument to be made against it being mandatory. To work at a daycare, or elementary school, or anywhere around children who aren't your own but who you are responsible for, without taking the necessary precautions, is incredibly irresponsible.
I am currently volunteering at a middle school and often perform at kids' events and there is not a chance I would so much as think about stepping foot in that building or at those events if I was not fully vaccinated.
With that said, murmurings around Canadian news stations are saying that booster shots are expected to be available for us soon and we will be eligible for them 8-9 months after the date of our second dose. If this is true, I'm all for it, especially with even more new variants having appeared since the Delta variant.
