Having the jab won't stop you from getting covid nor will it stop you from being able to pass it on to others but it is a good bet that it will make your own symptoms far less serious if you do get it than if you have not been vaccinated. It's all about a balance of risk factors. In my work I come into contact with members of the public so have been double jabbed but my better half has fibromyalgia and barely leaves the house so has very limited contact with others. Due to her general state of health she does not want to have the vaccine and risk any side effects making her worse than she already is. If she did have more contact with others she would consider having the jab, but as things stand she doesn't want to as she feels she is not that much at risk (I take all the reasonable precautions Inc lateral flow tests due to the nature of my own job in order to reduce the risk of getting it myself and then passing it on). I would prefer her to have the vaccination, but understand why she doesn't want it at the moment. At the end of the day, it is about making informed personal decisions but also not making decisions that might put others unduly at risk.

The reason why Robinson won't have the jab is because he has his own mind and its personal choice. Like your wife, I am vulnerable and double jabbed and will soon have the booster. Do I think my daughter or another child is selfish
for not having the jab ( yet )? No not at all - glad they are educated and ready up on all this and havea mind of their own.

I take my chances now too. My view I know but want a life albeit there may be risks etc etc.

Everything personal choice so I applaud Callum as all players will be tested on meet ups anyway.
