Vaccination gave gifted us time with our father, says granddaughter.

“He struggled with his breathing, he felt tired. His wife called an ambulance but his oxygen sats were fine, so they reassured him and left him at home. He never needed hospital, and recovered well. I got to see him for the first time in 7 years,” tweeted Sarha.

“I was much closer to my grandmother. She was amazing. Some say the vaccines were developed ‘too fast’. I wish they were just 2 months earlier. Many share this wish. Condolences to us all. I hope for anyone reading this, that vaccines give you this precious gift of time.
