You framed your (and her) decision about the vaccine entirely as...


"the virus itself shouldn't be an issue to her." With the emphasis only on *her.*

Sure, she should be fine if *she* got covid (though my teenage sons have a high school friend that has had serious issues after having covid months ago), but what about others that she comes in contact with? Of course, those others should get the vaccine as well to protect themselves, but does she not ever come in contact with kids 12 and under that can't get the vaccine yet? The vaccine also isn't 100% effective, so some people you know and love will have gotten the vaccine, but for whatever reason, their bodies don't react well with it and they are left unprotected.

If she has been frustrated with things being shut down (and what teenager hasn't been), then getting the vaccine herself to help stop the spread is probably the best and easiest thing she can do to help herself and her circle of contacts get things back to normal.

I'm happy to hear she got vaccinated, and I hope others follow suit for everyone's benefit.
