Story at a glance:

- A woman's fully vaccinated father died from COVID-19.

- Doctors said the condition of the father could have been worse if he was not vaccinated at all.

- The father was mostly indoors and wore a mask, his surviving daughter said.

A woman's fully vaccinated father died from COVID-19, with her saying she "can't imagine how much more he would have suffered if he had not gotten the vaccine."

Yvonne Rodriguez saw her ill father, Patricio Elizondo, for the last time at the hospital. She remembered him struggling to breathe on his own, Newsweek reported.

[...] According to Jan Patterson, an infectious disease specialist at UT Health, Rodriguez was right in her assessment, that her father would have suffered more if he had not been vaccinated.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, "There is some evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe for those who are vaccinated and still get sick."
