I’m glad I stood my ground and am on the road to being fully vaccinated.

That statement comes as I have a friend (who is becoming a very close friend) who has been trying to talk me out of getting vaccinated since I registered my interest with Queensland Health all those weeks ago. He has his reasons for not getting vaccinated, which I believe are part of his religious beliefs. I’m not one to question other people’s beliefs, as long as they are respectful to me, that’s all that matters.

It’s pretty much like this - I’m getting vaccinated to protect myself and the important people around me, in particular my mum and my nan. While I’m currently under a directive to work from home full time right now, there will be a time where I do have to go back to the office and I’m pretty much the only one in my house that has to be out and about. I don’t want to be that person that gets COVID, brings it home and potentially kills my loved ones. I’d rather not live with that guilt.
