As a front line health care worker, Leeanne Jenkins of Elizabethtown has witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of COVID-19 throughout the past year.
A respiratory therapist for Baptist Health Hardin, Jenkins said from watching patients lose their lives to watching families limited to online interaction with loved ones hospitalized, the year has been hard.
Thatâs why for Jenkins receiving the COVID-19 vaccine was a like a âChristmas present.â
âI was relieved that there was hope coming for us,â she said. âWe not only have personal protective equipment but we also now have those antibodies to keep us healthy, keep us strong and to put an end to all this craziness and madness so we can start seeing each otherâs faces and start smiling again.â
