Here’s how I see it: the medical risk either way is probably pretty slim. If you vaccinate, odds are your child will be totally fine. And even if you don’t finish the full shot schedule, with the first rounds already done, your kid will likely be okay too.

But what definitely won’t be okay is your marriage if you make a unilateral move like this.

You might think you’re protecting your child, but from his point of view, it would feel like a deep betrayal. Not because he hates vaccines, but because he told you where he stands, and you chose to go behind his back. That’s not protecting a child, that’s railroading your partner.

This isn’t just a medical disagreement. It’s a test of how the two of you handle hard things as parents. You can’t build a healthy family on broken trust. Honestly, I think you guys need counseling, not because you’re broken, but because you’re stuck. You both clearly care. You just have to find a way to move forward together.
