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've been watching with interest the debate on whether medical care staff and care givers should be given priority and I'm kinda with this fellow, Dr. Joel Zivot, who speaking to NPR said "Right now we're in a point of crisis, and the crisis is death. And we need to stop the dying and stop the dying by vaccinating the kinds of patients that are ending up in the ICU and dying there. And I can wait." -- This is very much how I feel. We'll see how it goes.

I am so pleased! Hope all continues to go smoothly for her.
(It is such an enormous boost of hope and relief to see the vaccine rolling out here.)

I took the article from the Jewish News and posted it a few places, saying "This is my friend's mother!".
I don't know if it'll make any difference to anyone, because all of the Jewish people I know are firmly on the side of SCIENCE, but a lot of people have been interested to read it.
