For months, Jason Lerato felt pressured to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and for months he held his ground.

At 47 years of age, the Manitoba man had stood firmly against all vaccines for decades, and nothing — advice from public health, assurances from his personal doctor, pressure from his wife — would change his mind.

After having a conversation with two in-law family members, he changed his mind, and is now fully vaccinated.

Lerato is hoping his experience will help both those saying no to the vaccine and those pushing to change their minds. Global's Brittany Greenslade has more.
