9 EAST GRANBY, Conn. On July 21, 2011, Master Sgt. Jessica Roy gave birth to her first child, Austin. He was born prematurely at 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound, 11 ounces.
Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford promptly placed him in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.
“I was at the NICU all day every day until my maternity leave ended, and then I had to come back to work,” said Roy, 103rd Security Forces Squadron S2 Intelligence and Investigations Superintendent and Antiterrorism Program Manager. “So I would come to work, go right from work to the NICU for a couple of hours every night, and then go home so that I could rest and come back to work the next day.”

Pharrell Bright sat in a plastic folding chair in the middle of a gym auditorium at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford.
The Capital Preparatory Magnet School senior had just received his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. I saw a lot of the commercials that the hospital has been posting on TV and through the news and it’s saying, get vaccinated, it could save some lives, he said. And I felt like I just heard it enough times that I was like, you know what, maybe it isn’t such a bad thing to do.
Bright, 18, joined other Hartford Public Schools students and their families Thursday at a pop-up youth vaccination clinic at the hospital. The goal was to administer first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to some of the state’s youngest eligible residents.
