IN HONOR OF JACQUELINE TEAGUE'S AND AMELIE BECK'S SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE
OF LOUISVILLE DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC
______
HON. JOHN A. YARMUTH
of kentucky
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 19, 2021
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of two remarkable young women from my Congressional District, Jacqueline Teague and Amelie Beck. After witnessing their grandparents struggle to sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine, Jacqueline and Amelie created the program VaxConnectKY to help seniors make vaccination appointments online. Between their classes at Sacred Heart Academy, they answered emails and calls from seniors across the Commonwealth and guided them through the vaccination process.
Since February, Jacqueline and Amelie have helped more than 2,000 seniors receive the COVID-19 vaccine. In recognition of this outstanding work, Jacqueline received the 2021 Diana Award, which honors young people around the world for their humanitarian efforts.
On behalf of the people of Kentucky's Third Congressional District and the city of Louisville, I thank Jacqueline and Amelie, for their life-saving service and leadership. They are both incredible role models, and l have no doubt that they will continue to make our Commonwealth proud in their future endeavors.
