Health care heroes attend Super Bowl LV

7,500 vaccinated health care workers, mostly from the Tampa Bay area, were given free tickets to the big game.

TAMPA, Fla. — While there were considerably fewer fans in the stands for Super Bowl, 7,500 of the 22,000 seats were filled by vaccinated health care heroes. 

They watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the Kansas City Chiefs and hoist the Lombardi trophy Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium.

The NFL gifted health care workers from around Tampa Bay, Central Florida and across the country with tickets to the history-making game in the Bucs' home stadium.

This, as a thank you for health care workers' continued work on the front lines of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
