Cathy Gets the COVID-19 Vaccine

Front-line health care workers are some of the first people in the US who can get the COVID-19 vaccine. As a wound nurse at her hospital, Cathy cares for both COVID and non-COVID patients. Therefore, she was in the first group eligible for the vaccine.

Cathy believes in the science and the safety of vaccines, so she was eager to get hers as soon as possible. Being vaccinated will let her worry less about being exposed at the hospital, and possibly bringing the virus home to her family.

Cathy is thankful that it will also let her see her mom and other loved ones sooner, and to do her part to build up herd immunity in our country. Cathy is a big hugger, and misses hugging her friends, her mom, her coworkers, patients, and more. She sees getting this vaccine is one small step closer to being able to do that again.

She will be going back for her second dose in 3 weeks.
