People across the UK tell how they are speaking with loved ones to convince them to get vaccinated
Alisha Issa, 16, remembers the moment her mum finally agreed to get the coronavirus vaccine. It was a chilly Tuesday afternoon in Bolton and the pair had gone for a walk before it got dark. Alisha went through her mother’s questions and fears again, answering what she could. When, at the end of the walk, her mum agreed to take the jab, she was filled with a sense of relief.
“She was very hesitant and very worried, but she didn’t have any regrets after she took it. She was saying it was painless and that it was so well organised,” Alisha said. She had similar conversations with her grandparents and turned to her A-level biology books to answer the worries they had.
