Boston mother outraged after son living with autism was given flu shot at school without parental permission

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:23:44 GMT

A Boston mother is speaking out after her son, who has autism, was given a flu shot at school despite her wishes. The school told Gabriela Gomes her son’s consent form was overlooked. Speaking with 7NEWS, Gomes recently shared her reaction. “I’m traumatized since that happened,” she said. Gomes’s 21-year-old son Sean goes to Boston Community Leadership Academy, which held a vaccine clinic in October. Gabriela Gomes said she checked off “no” on Sean’s flu shot consent form. Her selection of “no” on the consent form should have exempted her son from getting the vaccine. But, after the clinic, she was surprised to find Sean holding his arm, only to learn he had been vaccinated. “For him to get a needle without me there — I’ve seen what happens,” Gabriela said. “He goes out of breath. He panics and it shouldn’t have been done without me, period.” “It did hurt,” Sean said. Asked by his mother if he was scared, Sean responded.“Yeah, I was,” he said.&nbs...

Brandon Gunnoe has the story.After he retired, Jim Vincini decided hitting the links would be a perfect hobby.“What do I love about it? Well, more than anything, it’s probably just getting together. Because during retirement, a lot of times, you don’t see any of the people that you knew before, and I can hold my own with a lot of the guys,” Jim said.  Hoping to improve his game Jim bought a set of four clubs from an online golf company.“I’m always thinking I could use a few more yards on my swing on my distance,” Jim said. He called in his order and paid about $500.“The man I talked to said, okay, but the deal is we’re going to send you four clubs.  Try them out. Keep them for a while. If you’re not satisfied, send them back, an...

The Ravens will be without their top offensive lineman for Thursday night’s crucial matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium.Left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who injured his knee in last week’s loss to the Cleveland Browns and did not practice all week, was ruled out Wednesday for the AFC North showdown.
