Mother warns people to get Covid vaccine as son, 24, undergoes double lung transplant

The family of a 24-year-old man who underwent a double lung transplant is urging young people to take the Covid-19 vaccine.

Cheryl Nuclo, of Georgia, told local Atlanta broadcaster WSB-TV 2 that her son Blake Bargatze had no underlying conditions when he contracted Covid-19.

“He had called me that Friday when he got the results,” Ms Nuclo said, “and he’s like, ‘Mom, you’re going to be mad. I got COVID.’”
