At the same time, I knew I had a responsibility to lead by example and was concerned at what message I would be giving to my team members if I didn’t get vaccinated.”Also, another member of my team who is also a female Muslim was getting the vaccine at the same time, so I did feel a bit of reassurance from that.”But, ultimately, the deciding factor for me was going to Hajj the holy pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudia Arabia. My husband and I were supposed to do the Hajj last year but it didn’t happen due to the global pandemic, so we deferred to this year.”I know that everyone going to hajj will need to have the Covid vaccine in order to get a visa.”Conspiracy theories and fake news pose one of the biggest threats to the vaccine rollout, not least among the BAME community.Among the baseless claims made online about the vaccine is that it could alter people DNA, or that it contains pork products..
