A form of harm reduction


I AM a mother of two boys aged 14 and 16. My eldest son received his first jab of the Covid-19 vaccine recently, and his brother’s is slated for Oct 10.

I am grateful that the government has allowed children aged between 12 and 17 to be vaccinated. To be honest, I was initially a bit reluctant to allow my children to get vaccinated. I am not an anti-vaxxer; both my husband and I are fully vaccinated.
