Michael Freedy, 39, a father of five, and his fiancee, Jessica du Preez, traveled with their family to San Diego in mid-July.

“He was getting chills, couldn’t eat, couldn’t get comfortable, couldn’t sleep,” du Preez said.

This is terrible,” Freedy sent du Preez in a text message from the hospital.

Du Preez said Freedy died in the hospital Thursday morning.

Both du Preez and her eldest child got the first dose of the vaccine when Freedy was admitted to the hospital, she said.
