Felt pressured into unwanted vaccine at appointment
Today's appointment felt like a deeply troubling experience. If you have elderly or vulnerable family members, I would strongly recommend accompanying them to their appointments. My 85-year-old relative, who had previously received multiple vaccinations, was invited by this surgery to attend an appointment for a flu vaccine. When the appointment was arranged over the phone with a family member present, my relative clearly stated they only wanted the flu vaccine and did not wish to receive an additional vaccine. They were assured this would not be a problem and the appointment was confirmed for today. At today's appointment, my relative was again asked about receiving the additional vaccine. They declined once more. However, they were then told it was "just one more needle" by one of three staff members present in the room. At what point do healthcare professionals accept when a patient says no? My relative returned home upset and explained to the family member that they had received the additional vaccine. When asked why, given their clear previous refusal, my relative said they felt pressured by having three staff members in the room. They had already declined the vaccine both when making the appointment and again during today's visit. My relative felt pressured into accepting the vaccine despite their repeated refusals. This is particularly concerning given that a family member had previously experienced difficulties following a similar vaccine, which had made my relative determined not to receive another. Yet today they felt compelled to accept it due to the circumstances. This experience felt like an abuse of the healthcare relationship and an inappropriate use of professional authority. I should also note that the surgery is relocating in October.
