On Thursday morning, registered nurse Cydney Begnaud pushed the plunger on her syringe and delivered the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to Dr. Joseph Brierre, the oncologist who helped save her life from breast cancer 20 years earlier. He was her first patient of the day; a moment of serendipity that heightened her pride in participating in the outset of the historic mass vaccination effort.
âHe sat in my chair and we were visiting and I said, âYou know, Dr. Brierre, you saved my life 20 years ago and today giving you this vaccine is such an honor, because I hope that I can help to save yours,ââ Begnaud said.

When Cyd Begnaud showed up to work on Thursday morning, she didn t expect to give a COVID vaccine to the man who helped cure her breast cancer. As a line of health care workers filed into the room for the first round of Pfizer vaccines, Begnaud welcomed her former oncologist to her station and gave him the immunization.
Begnaud, a part-time nurse at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, was diagnosed with breast cancer 20 years ago yesterday, and her family claims the doctor saved her life.
