Question 1

My dad never gets a flu shot. What can I tell him to try to change his mind?

If your father enjoys visiting with his children or grandchildren, let him know that he is putting his family at risk by not getting vaccinated. That might be adequate motivation!

I would also tell him that by not getting immunized he also puts others at risk. If he won't choose to do it for himself perhaps he could do it for the benefit of others.
