I'm not sure it was a change of mind per se or more of an appeasing thing but father-in-law initially said he wasn't really interested in it despite working for a hospital system. And then we find out he had gotten his first dose (he just completed his second dose a week or two ago something like that). Turns out he was saying he didn't necessarily want it because his current wife is adamant about not getting it.
You've never had to convince my husband and I, we'd get it today if we could. Mother-in-law and step-father-in-law say they'll get it (and they are both eligible for it right now today as in they can get get it if they want it) but say "it's not pressing" like it is but okay. And they are the ones engaging in all the risky behavior.
I've been very much for priority groups because it's one of the ways people can get it who otherwise wouldn't stand a chance and a free for all situation right now IMO would be more chaos. I am over that everyone assumes that all 65+ people want it..they don't even people in their lower 60s or 50s (70s and 80s? yeah they generally want it badly). In my circle between my family and my husband's family that group are the ones who are all lackadaisical about it all like "meh we'll get it somepoint". Meanwhile us in our 30s (my husband, myself, one of my sister-in-laws, my cousin and his wife, my friend (who was able to get it already due to her retail occupation and just got her 2nd dose over the weekend), her friend, nearly all the people I've been to school with and are still friends on FB, etc) are clamoring for it so badly.
Thankfully my family members who are eligible being 65 and up did choose to get it even my uncle who has been quite vocal in a negative way about the pandemic though I don't think he was really anti-vaccine just more like anti-covid restrictions/thinking it's mostly an overblown situation or hoax and this past Saturday those eligible completed their 2nd doses. I was really happy my autistic aunt was able to get it quickly. I do wonder if one of my cousins (the son of the uncle who has been vocal in a negative way) will get it as he's also been very vocal in a negative way more. He's in his 40s.
