We asked the BuzzFeed Community to share how they convinced the vaccine skeptics in their life to get vaccinated for COVID-19. Here are the responses that could be helpful to you if one of your loved ones still has yet to get the shot:

11. “I told my younger brother — who was literally just being LAZY about it — that if he wanted to be at our Thanksgiving table, he’d better get vaccinated NOW. He went that day. Some people need personal consequences, I guess, because the ‘Do it for society’ thing just doesn’t convince them.” —areyoukidding
