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.
Edna Segura – 13.6 years of service
Supervisor, TCP Conroe
I chose to get vaccinated for my family, friends and co-workers. I am committed to doing what’s needed to keep our communities safe. I am very proud that I can say that I have done my part to help end this pandemic.
Nancy Cornett – 3.5 years of service
Staff Nurse – Inpatient, Legacy Tower, PICU Floor 11
As an ICU nurse I ultimately chose to get the vaccine to protect the lives of the already fragile patient population I work with. I also chose to get the vaccine to protect my loved ones. Working with COVID+ patients during this pandemic has been very stressful to say the least! I have often been fearful that I would bring the virus home to the ones that I love and now that I am vaccinated it has helped relieve some of that stress.
Clairese Estes – 5.8 years of service
Security Officer, Pavilion for Women
I received the COVID-19 vaccine to ensure the safety of myself, my family and my co-workers. Thank you so much Texas Children’s!

Given the enormous vaccine participation from everyone, we have extended the Get the Vaccine to End COVID-19 $1,000 Drawing to Friday, April 30. Now Texas Children’s team members have multiple chances to win prizes in celebration of the vaccine breakthrough.
In addition to the $1,000 Drawing, Winner’s Choice Team Drawing kicked off on April 1, giving team members who have received at least one vaccine dose the opportunity to win some of the most sought-after electronics on the market. With the arrival of a third vaccine option and more of our colleagues and loved ones every day, this new contest is another way to express our appreciation for all those who have stepped up to lead the way.
