In a sad story, nurses from various hard-hit hospitals are reporting that unvaccinated patients are regretting not getting inoculated but by the time they’re admitted to the hospital, it’s too late to give them the life-saving vaccine.
“When they come into the (hospital) system, they say, ‘Can I get vaccinated?’ And at that point, you can’t” said Alix Zacharski, an intensive care clinical nurse manager at Miami’s Jackson Health System.
Dr. Brytney Cobia of Grandview Medical Center wrote this about young people recently arriving at her hospital seriously ill with Covid-19:
“One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late,” Cobia wrote in a Facebook post Sunday.
Unfortunately, not many of these patients live.
