A mum-of-three aged just 25 has died from Covid after she put off getting the vaccine due to nerves and being "too busy" bringing up her family.
Danni Coombs died in hospital days before her 26th birthday after she is believed to have caught coronavirus from her fiance Adam.
She leaves behind a son, aged two, who has autism and ADHD, and two little girls, aged four and seven. Adam, an electrician, is now giving up his work to care for the children.
Her devastated family have told how Danni "kept putting off" getting vaccinated because she was "busy with other things."
Danni became seriously ill with coronavirus after her oxygen levels plummeted and she was put on a ventilator.
She contracted sepsis while in Milton Keynes Hospital and died on July 15.
Her aunt, Kelly Coombs, said that Danni may have been saved if she had taken her Covid jab.
She said: "Like many people, she kept putting it off because she was busy with other things.
"She was also slightly nervous about it, but her mum and Adam had even arranged to take her there. Before they had a chance, she caught Covid and it was too late."
The family lived in a two-bed property in Milton Keynes with Danni and Adam having given up their bedroom to the children, meaning the couple had to sleep in the living room.
Kelly's advice now is for other young people to get the Covid jab to avoid falling to a similar fate as Danni.
She said: "The message Danni would want to get across, loud and clear, is that people should not delay getting their Covid vaccinations like she did.
"If Danni had been vaccinated, she probably may have still caught Covid. But she would not have got it so badly that it cost her life."
Kelly is fundraising to support Adam and the children during this difficult period.
She wrote on a GoFundMe page: "I do not know of a more deserving family and I desperately want to give them a fighting chance to be able to deal with all the difficulties ahead.
"Please donate whatever you can for this devastated family to give them some comfort in the knowledge they'll have some financial security. And maybe eventually a break away for them."
