After bout with COVID, nursery worker encourages everyone to get vaccinated
For about two months in the summer, Maria I. Mota Garcia didn’t leave her Dayton home. Mota-Garcia, 53, along with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren, all caught COVID-19.
When Mota Garcia, who for 11 years has worked at a nursery in Dayton, had an opportunity to take the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine a few weeks ago, the choice was obvious.
“It’s meant so much to me. I don’t want to get sick again,” Mota Garcia said in Spanish. “Everyone in my family got the vaccine.”
