My mother has now had the COVID vaccine, and has an appointment for the second dose in three weeks.

She sent me articles from two UK Jewish publications, about her being almost certainly the first Holocaust survivor to receive the vaccine, both of which mention her work with the Holocaust Education Trust (which got the photo credit and presumably contacted the press):

ETA: I have sent some of these comments to my mother, and our family and her friends.

I got email this afternoon inviting me to join/connect with someone on some kind of business social network. I almost deleted it unread, but my phone displayed the first line, saying it was from "Martin Rosen, of The Sock Man." That suggested that maybe he was still in business--I'd tried to go to his website a couple of times earlier in the pandemic, and it didn't respond, and it's a shop in Greenwich Village that does a significant amount of walk-in business.

I'm not interested in the business network thing, but I am going to be ordering some more socks.
