Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I have an 82 year old aunt who is very nervous about taking a vaccine shot and has not had one so far. She has sadly not received sufficient reassurance from her GP. Basically she had two vaccines in the 50s that she reacted *very* badly to. As a result she has never had another vaccine in her life.

She is extremely fearful of taking a covid vaccine, and her GP has not been able to offer any reassurance.

I am trying to persuade her to have a vaccine, but I need some help to reassure her it is safe. So, I am looking for someone who can help advice either (1) how the current vaccines are different to those she may have had a long time ago and why they are safe, or (2) how we can work out if she might suffer any negative effects from the current vaccines- I know there are ways of testing for allergies that are not high risk.

Any help as to who I can talk to get some information to persuade my aunt to have a vaccine, and possibly which one, would be very welcome.

Ah yes, reminds me that the White House press spokesman uttered a similar sentiment in 2017 to support misrepresentation of the Inauguration crowd numbers.

This, about vaccination, is rather more important to the world than Trump's vanity then.
