After winning the Get the Vaccine to End COVID-19 Drawing, the following team members tell us why they stepped up to be vaccinated and hope to inspire others.
Adrianne Bourgeois – 8 years of service
EMR Educator, EPIC Training Team
“A little over a year ago I fell ill with what I thought was the flu. After feeling progressively worse, at the suggestion of family and friends, I was tested and received confirmation that I had actually contracted the virus. I chose to get the vaccine to protect myself and others from feeling the way I felt. And I’m so blessed to be alive to receive it.”
Tracy Barbour – 13.4 years of service
Newborn Center NICU Level IV
“I received the COVID-19 vaccine to protect my kids, parents, grandparents, friends, patients, and my community to the best of my ability. I felt, as a nurse, I needed to lead by example and help fight this disease.”
Sylvia Campos – 20 years of service
Ambulatory Services Rep I, Nutrition/GI Clinic
“I’m so Thankful to Texas Children’s for giving me the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. It is a good feeling knowing I am doing my part to ensure the safety of myself, my family and my co-workers especially to our patients who come for the best care we have to offer them. Texas Children’s has been the best place to work for the past 20 years and counting!”
