“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s touched home, so being able to help vaccinate, makes me happy I get to help people brush some of the fear of COVID-19 off their shoulders and live happily for a little bit longer,” Avilas said.
As vaccine eligibility expands in New Mexico, nursing students will continue to dedicate time to meet the demand.

On Egnatia Odos, cross northern Greece (Macedonia) from the border with Turkey to the Ionian Sea. I would spend an entire vacation on this road.
Edessa, 2016
