She said the two "weren't sure" about getting the COVID-19 vaccination until it was too late.

Mia and Brad Vinnard were together for 12 years, married for nine.

Mia, who also tested positive for COVID a few days after Brad, did not have to spend time in the hospital.

She said the only time she could get out of bed was to take her husband to the hospital.

She, as well, is remembering Brad and the special bond the two had as the oldest siblings out of the five children in their family.

"I said, 'Brad, I'm begging you.' And it just got to where I had to stop.

As a big sister, because I'm his oldest sister, it's always, 'nag, nag, nag,'" Burdell said.

She said she stopped texting him and talking with him about the COVID-19 vaccine because she felt it was driving a wedge between them.

"Not in a million years did I think I would lose my brother to something like this," Burdell said.

Mia said she and Brad didn't seek out the COVID-19 vaccination.

She said it's what Brad would have wanted her to do

"If I can save one life for Brad then, you know, it doesn't have to be in vain," said Mia

Just within the past week, Mia said at least two dozen of the couple's "vaccine hesitant" friends have sent messages to her saying that after holding out, they have either received or scheduled their first vaccine shots after hearing Brad's story
