I’ve completed my 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and apart from being slightly lethargic and a fleeting mild headache, I felt completely normal.

Ash took his first dose 2 weeks ago and Ayd just had his first jab today. Since they are already teenagers, I wanted them to be involved in the decision-making - whether they wanted to proceed with the vaccination. I was also heartened that their respective school form teachers also went through the background and possible side effects of the vaccine with them. In fact, they were the ones who told me that there is currently no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccination can affect puberty and growth. Vaccination also does not alter one’s DNA. So yes,they actually knew more than me in the end!

With the students returning to school, I feel more assured knowing that my boys are vaccinated so that they can be protected.
