A Florida man's last wish before dying of COVID-19 was to get the vaccine. To honor his memory, his family is turning his funeral into a vaccine and testing event to protect the community against the deadly virus.
She said he started to feel ill in late July and tested positive for the virus the following day. He quarantined at home but got progressively worse. “He was in the hospital. He said, ‘Bae, I’m going to get the vaccine when I get out of here.’ So he was going to get it. I was like ‘Good, I’m so happy you said that, but it’s too late,’” Charnese Davis said to local ABC affiliatePHOTO: Marquis Davis, 28, of Rockledge, Fla., is pictured with his wife Charnese Davis and her son an undated family photo.
"Our position as a church is let’s get this cut. Let’s do this. I don’t want to see another person lose their life, period," he added.The church is partnering with the state to offer the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. COVID-19 testing will also be available at the event. “He was so adamant about not getting it, everything we hear about the vaccine wasn’t always perfect…It’s a lot of younger adults my age who don’t want to get it or they think it won’t affect them," Charnese Davis told ABC News. "But, it does affect you. This could have been prevented, so let’s get vaccinated so it doesn’t happen to you."
