DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) — The wife of De Pere Republican State Senator Andre Jacque, who is currently hospitalized with COVID-19 induced pneumonia, is urging people to get vaccinated.
Renee Jacque says in a statement to WBAY-TV that she’s grateful to the doctors treating her husband and says that while vaccination is a personal choice, she recommends listening to medical professionals who suggest it.
“My children and I are filled with humble gratitude for the remarkable, compassionate medical professionals that are working tirelessly to care for Andre in the hospital. Speaking on my family’s experience, 5 of our 8 family members tested positive for COVID-19. Of the 3 fully vaccinated people in our family, there was one breakthrough case of COVID-19 with mild symptoms. While vaccination is a personal choice, I ask that those individuals who are eligible and able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine please consider placing their trust in the medical professionals who recommend it. These professionals, and their peers, are those whom we have also placed our trust in to care for my husband. We are so thankful for the generous outpour of heartfelt well wishes and sincere prayers for Andre and for our family.”
No update on Jacque’s condition was provided.
