‘Let us not squander hope! Be proud to get your vaccine’
Wisconsin nurse practitioner Amber Schmitz just got her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and she feels great. Schmitz, who sees gastroenterology patients at Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers, WI, and primary care patients through Quick Care Video Visits, got the vaccine in hopes of getting back to some normalcy, especially in her own home.
“My main motivation is my husband and four sons. I think about them in every decision I make,” Schmitz said.
She is eager for her boys to be able to safely return to school, and she longs for big birthday celebrations and family gatherings. Getting the vaccine ignited her sense of hope, not just for her own family, but for her community and world.
