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...
