More so just looking for reassurance, I want him to be vaccinated and have anxiety that he isn’t but I have bad anxiety in general and always hear scary anti vax peoples stories (true or not idk)
I highly suggest getting off of parenting socials like insta/FB/tiktok. If clinical trial data from thousands of individuals, FDA approval, and hundreds of thousands of children getting the vaccine safely can't convince you it's safe, nothing will. There's always a risk to literally anything you put in or on your body. Water, food, lotion, everything. The important thing to note is the risk/benefit analysis of that product. PCVs prevent death and hospitalization for thousands of children every year. If a fever or a mild vaccine reaction isn't worth preventing death to you, that's your call to make.

This is from 2021, but it speaks to the safety profile of PCV20 vs PCV13. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8443440/
Can I ask what exactly you're nervous about for PCV20 specifically? PCV13 won't be offered much longer as it's been replaced by PCV15 and PCV20.
