Heather Campbell tested positive for the virus last November, six months after she started her nursing career.
The majority of patients on Heather's ward were non-Covid but from time to time she cared for people with the virus."I just started feeling generally unwell, I had a temperature and a headache, I didn't think much of it," Heather recalled."I had another PCR test on the Monday and it was negative but, after liaising with work because I had symptoms, I had to isolate and it was the Tuesday or Wednesday that my test came back positive.
Heather was due to get her vaccine in the last week of June but days before she again tested positive for Covid. Latest figures show 1,522 first doses were given on Monday, bringing the total in Scotland to almost 4m.Heather said: "I think younger people can be quite naïve and think it's just the cold and it's not. I would really encourage it, anything you can do to prevent yourself getting unwell."
