“Our father remains at The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab where he is continuing to receive intensive occupational and physical therapy. We urge all who have not yet been vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus to do so immediately,” Jonathan Jackson said.
The 79-year-old Rev. Jackson is fully vaccinated, however his 77-year-old wife was not because of an undisclosed pre-existing medical condition. Jackson received his first Covid-19 vaccine dose in January at an event to promote African American confidence in vaccinations, according to a statement at the time from the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Rev. Jackson was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an incurable neurological disorder, in 2017.
