Teens with anti-vax parents seek out Reddit's help to get secretly vaccinated

Salon  

Reddit, the vast online forum and link aggregator, is a digital haven for advice, self-help, and general discussion; for almost any subculture or topic you want to discuss, you can find a Reddit community. Now, as the anti-vaccination movement has driven more parents to exempt their children from vaccines, some teenagers are turning to online forums like Reddit to find advice on how to get vaccinated, against their parents’ wishes. The World Health Organization named “vaccine hesitancy” one of the top threats to public health to prioritize in 2019. “I plan to get Hepatitis A and B, MMR, the flu, HPV, TDaP, and many other immunizations that I was ‘exempt’ from,” she said, noting the rise in measles has made her “seriously anxious.” In 2000, 37 years after measles vaccination programs began, national health experts declared that the disease had been eliminated in the United States. “I found out when it was time to get our shots at school, they sent us home forms for our parents to fill out and my mom said that I had an exception and told me not to get any shots.” Around the age of 13, the Canadian started scouring the internet to figure out how to get vaccinated herself.
