RJ Gardner is a travel nurse for Aya Healthcare and he ran a Covid centre in New Jersey for 5 months, working 13 hour days and going 27 days straight without a day off.
He was one of the lucky people to attend the Super Bowl as part of 7,500 vaccinated health care workers, who have been thanked for their work during the pandemic.
He tells Sportshour what it has been like fighting on the front line.
