Meet Ashley, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in a Virginia nursing home. Ashley watched as a resident’s health declined rapidly due to COVID-19. Despite overcoming the virus, the resident continues to struggle with lasting effects like difficulty breathing and low energy. This experience made her realize that getting vaccinated wasn’t just a personal choice — it was a professional responsibility. Now, Ashley encourages everyone around her to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine to safeguard those who are most vulnerable.
