Portrait of Virginia

Virginia has worked as a certified nursing assistant for 20 years and contracted COVID-19 herself. Despite contending with vaccine hesitancy from her co-workers, she decided to get vaccinated after encouragement from her physician. Some of Virginia’s family are “wait-and-seers,” but Virginia is doing her part to encourage friends and their families to get vaccinated to protect them against COVID-19.
