There are generally two kinds of people those who look and those who do not look at the needle during vaccination. Maria Romero is one of the latter.
Romero looked away as the needle entered her arm, depositing a second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. She is one of many elderly NeighborhoodHELP members vaccinated at FIU after Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Florida Department of Health allocated 2,000 vaccines to the university.
The 73-year-old s daughter captured the moment on a cellphone. This was an important event for the entire family. The risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19 increases with age. Risk is also higher in poor minority communities.

Search Proceeds from medical student fundraiser will provide free mammograms to more than 100 uninsured women
The annual student-organized art show and auction raised a record $17K this year.
Mammograms can save lives, but many women can t afford them.
Nearly 10 years ago, medical students at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM) organized a fundraiser to pay for mammograms for uninsured, low-income women. The first Mammography Art Initiative Art Show and Auction (MAI) raised about $6,000. MAI became a yearly fundraiser. This year, students raised a record $17,000. We were nervous about how successful MAI would be with the challenges of the pandemic. It was a nice surprise that it was so successful, said Allison Bautista, one of the second-year medical students who helped organize the event.
