'I was vaccinated and I just kept getting on him to go do it,' his wife said. 'He would say, 'I'll go do it,' and kept putting it off. He just never did it.'

A Houston firefighter needs a transplant after COVID-19 destroyed his lungs, his wife Caitlin Davis said. She received the vaccine but her husband, Wayne,"kept putting it off."

Looking back, Caitlin said her husband wishes he had just gotten the shot—thinking that it didn't have to be this way. Caitlin said she prays that other families learn from them, and that they're sharing her husband's story to encourage others to get vaccinated. "Anybody that's still on the fence, I would show them a picture of Wayne now with the tubes and just say would you rather have a six week period in the hospital knowing you could possibly die, or just go to Walgreens for 20 minutes and get a shot," Caitlin said.
