I will add to Colleen's (@colleenyoung) note that, having cared for many people with dementia, any illness, even if not life-threatening, is very difficult, both for patient and caregiver. Any disruption to routine, any symptoms like fever, cough or intestinal upset are very likely to increase confusion, disorientation, restlessness...

Can you arrange through the nurse to get her vaccinated at home?
