My dad is refusing to get the TDAP shot because he claims he has 0 exposure to pertussis since he’s in a mask all day every day (he’s a doctor in a hospital 🤦🏻‍♀️). I’m so angry & don’t know how to reason with him. I told him it can be fatal to infants under 6mos & he said, great, we’ll see the baby after 6 months. Have you guys encountered resistance from any family members to getting TDAP? How did you handle it? I don’t understand why he’s saying no, it has literally no downside.

Have any of you used YouTube as part of your marketing campaign? If so, what did you do and was it effective for gaining clients in your region? What did you find to be helpful, or not helpful? Our firm is creating a YouTube channel and the partner who leads the estate planning/probate group is considering having us create and upload biweekly videos.
