In this episode you will meet Carter, a resident in an adult long-term care facility who has adamantly refused all vaccination since arriving two years ago. He has consistently been hostile toward attempts that the staff have made to speak with him about vaccination. While it is unlikely the the conversation you will hear will change Carter’s views on vaccination, it may be possible to convince him to be more respectful of others’ decisions without challenging their views.
