A 105-year-old Californian woman has passed away from Covid-19 in the same week she was set to receive the vaccine.
Margaret Sowma died after an outbreak of the virus hit the St. John of God Retirement and Care Center in Los Angeles, three months ahead of her 106th birthday and a week before she was scheduled to receive the Moderna vaccine. We were hoping to have a party if she had been vaccinated, take her out or something, we were planning to try to celebrate somehow, but it wasn t meant to be, her niece Julie Bawcom told ABC7.
