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.
Robert Carson – 2.7 years of service
Law Enforcement Officer, The Woodlands
We become first responders and health care providers because we care about people. I felt the best way to show I cared, was getting vaccinated to protect my family, my coworkers (HPD and TCH – Woodlands), patients and myself.
Cynthia Alejandro – 21.7 years of service
Case Management Assistant, Care Coordination
I’ve always put my Family first in my life. They are my reason. Because of Texas Children’s, I was truly Blessed to be able to receive this vaccine. I tested positive for Covid-19 on April 1, 2020, and happy to say I tested Negative June 3, 2020. I knew I had to do my part somehow. This is my way of pushing COVID out. I’ve done my best to encourage everyone I know to get the Vaccine. I’ve even made appointments for many of my family member and friends to get their Vaccine.
Blake Harrigan – 1 year of service
Sr. Project Manager, Late Effects Study
I was very excited when I learned I would get the chance to receive the Pfizer vaccine at Texas Children’s – I filled out and submitted my vaccine application form within minutes of receiving it and without hesitation. I was grateful to have the opportunity to limit the threat of personal exposure, but I was most thankful for the possibility that the vaccine would reduce the chance of me being a potential vector and spreader of the virus, especially since I have high-risk, elderly parents. Thank you so much Texas Children’s!
