- Lisa Amoruso
Wife and Mother of 2 Who Contracted Nearly Fatal Case of Influenza
- After not feeling well for a few days, wife and mother of 2, Lisa Amoruso, went to the doctor with what she thought was a bad cold, but learned within minutes that she needed to be rushed to the emergency room immediately. From there, everything spiraled downward. Lisa’s organs started failing and she was put into an induced coma to help save her life.
Lisa, an otherwise healthy and active woman, had contracted influenza and was severely ill for approximately 5 months. With the help of strong doctors and the love and support from her family and friends, Lisa survived and is now championing a new cause — influenza vaccination. She wants others to know that influenza can strike anyone and vaccination can help provide protection.1
