A Yukon woman who spent weeks fighting for her life against COVID-19 is encouraging others to do what she did not: get vaccinated. Lisa Anderson, 40, spent weeks in a coma and regained consciousness just a couple of weeks ago. She's still recovering in hospital in Vancouver and expects it will be months yet before she can return home. At the time, Yukon had no active cases of COVID-19 and had seen fewer than 100 since the start of the pandemic. Anderson was flown to hospital in Whitehorse after testing positive for COVID-19, but was soon sent to Vancouver for care.
