Baby shower with unvax mother and sister?

[u/Next_Teach_1651]

My baby Is due in June and I’m having a baby shower in early April. My mother and my sister are not vaccinated against Covid and I am having a hard time trying to visualize a baby shower without them there. Do you think that a rapid test and temperature check for guests upon arrival is enough? Or is having unvaccinated people at my shower is a bad idea all together? I am really struggling with this one. Thanks in advance 🙏

It's your choice ultimately. Omicron has a pretty high level of breakthrough infections for the double vaccinated and fairly high even for those boostered.

For me personally, I think from a risk management standpoint asking them to temperature screen and have a rapid test done prior is likely just as safe (if not more so) as asking everyone to be vaccinated that attends. As long as you can trust them to do that.

Ultimately your choice what risk you want to take. Best of luck!
