you would just have to ask the rn for her rationale. many people reject vaccines for a variety of reasons -- some valid and some ridiculous. if these are her children then she has the right not to vaccinate or decide which vaccinations her children receive. the flu vaccine is optional as far as schools are concerned but not optional in my book. i am very pro-vaccine but i do allow the parents the right to refuse. they do have to hear my lecture however but in the end the decision is theirs. as a grandmother -- and i am a grandparent too -- we have memories of those days before vaccinations. some new parents have never seen the diseases that ravaged our generation.
why would a rn choose not to get her kids a flu shot? as the grandparent is there anything i can do?
