Eugene woman who survived Spanish flu pandemic gets COVID-19 vaccine

Register-Guard Born in 1917, Bernice Homan was just a baby during the Spanish flu epidemic, which came a year later. When she caught the flu, she became seriously ill and her mother was told Bernice wouldn't make it through the night.  But her mother wasn't ready to let her daughter go. Compelled to save her, Homan's mother ran door to door asking people for a pumpkin so she could make some pumpkin seed soup, which she had heard was a cure for the Spanish flu.  She fed the soup to her daughter all night long. When dawn came, young Bernice was still alive.
