We had planned on having my wife's daughter and her family (spouse and 2 grown children) over for Christmas dinner since they are only an hour away. To address everyone's favorite main course I was planning on preparing fresh salmon and prime rib. We just found out yesterday that only the daughter has been vaccinated. We are in our 70s and have been very careful for the past 2 years with completing vaccinations including booster, mask wearing any time we indoors, distancing, and limit going out to grocery stores and doctor appointments.
Now it looks like Christmas dinner will be cancelled. There is not enough time for them to get completely vaccinated although if they haven't done it by now I doubt they want to for what ever their reasons are. Even if they test negative I don't know which test would have been used since some are not as accurate and if there would be a false negative.
I feel sad for my wife who was looking forward to a nice holiday dinner with them.
Her son,who is vaccinated but lives over 1k miles away and can't come, lives with a lady who was not vaccinated and now has Covid. Just more sad news.
This has not tuned out to be much of a happy celebration time for her and that makes me sad too.
Nothing can be done but I just needed to unload somewhere.
