They could surprise you. My uncle is not much different (Arizona), but after my Mom reminded him about the 3 relatives who had permanent damage from polio, he went right down and got his first shot (has since gotten second). My Mom (in her late 80s) remembers summer after summer having to stay home. My uncle was probably too young to remember it (he's 69 now). He's not concerned about dying. He's concerned about disability and not being able to live on his own.
