A heartbroken Shropshire woman whose father died of Covid before he was eligible for a vaccine has stressed that the virus is still with us and that the vulnerable need protecting.
Katie Griffiths, 32, from St Martins near Oswestry, says Covid is still with us – and those most vulnerable still need protecting.Last month her 10-year-old son, Elias asked to be taken to have his Covid jab because “his Grampsey couldn’t have his”.At the time of Colin’s death, he wasn’t yet eligible for the vaccine as the rollout had started with the most vulnerable moving down through the age groups and risk levels.
“I know that we are starting to hear less about Covid in the media but I just want to stress to people that Covid is still out there. My brother and his wife had it only just the other week, as well as good friends of ours. “My dad was everything to me. He was my world and I miss him every single day. I can’t say what could have been if he had been vaccinated – but I know for myself when I had Covid, it was no more than a head cold and I’m confident that’s because I was vaccinated.
