I think there was a very similar thread about this a couple of years ago , ????

My take on this is that this baby is going to be very precious to your daughter, and she wants to protect the baby from being infected with a preventable disease. As a grandmother I’d want to do that too, I’d never forgive myself if I passed something serious that I could have prevented on to somebody else, but particularly to a baby..
Your daughter is in charge in this situation, so either you take the vaccinations, assuming they are Public Health endorsed, or you resign yourself to not having close contact with your granddaughter whilst she is at her most vulnerable.

If it’s only one you don’t want to have then she needs to persuade you why it’s important.
Wouldn't you already have had these anyway, there is only so many we have.

Becksnana, is this for real? Which vaccinations is your daughter insisting you have? This is bizarre!

A list of vaccines? What are they?

My 37 yo daughter is having her 1st and only baby this spring. She gave me a list of vaccines today that I need to have before I can get close to the baby. I'm okay with all but one of them. Am I an ass because of how I feel? By the way I am the only person (including the father) that has been there every time she's upset during this pregnancy. Don't tell me that's my job because I raised her to an adult and my "job" does not have to continue passed that.
