“We are so pleased that Amber Vinson has been declared free of Ebola.
She is one of the health care workers who bravely provided care to the
first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States. Through excellent
health care and her own courage, she beat the disease. Based on the
clinical and lab findings, people are not at risk of getting the disease
from her, and she has been completely cleared. We wish her the best as
she transitions back to a normal life, and we welcome her back home to
Texas.”
Dr. David Lakey, Commissioner, Texas Department of State Health Services
