Fully vaccinated Southwest flight attendant, 36, dies from COVID-19 nearly two months after testing positive following trip to Hawaii
A fully vaccinated Southwest Airlines flight attendant has died from COVID-19 nearly two months after he tested positive following a work trip to Hawaii. Maurice 'Reggie' Shepperson, 36, who was based in Las Vegas, died at Henderson Hospital on Tuesday after spending weeks on a ventilator. He had checked into the hospital on July 7, weeks after testing positive following his trip to Hawaii in early June. Shepperson's mother said her son had taken every precaution against the virus, including getting fully vaccinated, wearing a mask, washing his hands frequently and sanitizing surfaces. He is among a very small fraction of Americans who have died after suffering 'breakthrough' coronavirus infections after vaccination.
