Peter Zyniewicz, an emergency room nurse, has worried he’ll bring COVID-19 home to his wife, children or their grandparents.
Edmonds resident Peter Zyniewicz received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine last week, a milestone of hope after witnessing so much tragedy.
“It’s a little like when you’re younger and you wake up to find Christmas presents under the tree,” said Zyniewicz, an emergency room nurse. “I can’t believe it’s finally here.”
Over the past year, Zyniewicz has held the hands of dying COVID-19 patients. At home, he’s dreamed of the people who struggled to breathe, and woke gasping for air himself. Throughout it all, he’s worried any accidental exposure could impact his wife, children and their grandparents.
