Summary
She said she recently heard from a teenager whose parents relented after she made an argument for getting vaccinated against Covid-19 using VaxTeen information.But if that doesn’t sway the parents’ opinions, she said, she tries to get the teenagers information on “minor self-consent.”“It’s an issue of access, as well as consent,” Danielpour said.Arin Parsa, the 13-year-old founder of the Teens for Vaccines advocacy group, said in an email to NBC News that his group has been "in the trenches helping many teens who face vaccine-hesitancy as well as extreme anti-vax views in their families.""People often don't realize that lack of teen rights for immunizations is not only a public health issue but a severe mental health issue for many," Parsa wrote.Lindenberger knows firsthand how complicated family dynamics can be when children and parents fall on opposite sides of the vaccination divide.
