We recently had the opportunity to hear from a nurse regarding the vaccine and at least one person who attended chose to receive their vaccine after the presentation. If you have any doubts, I would be happy to discuss the pros and cons with you. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our next support group will occur on June 9, this Wednesday at 1:00. We will have a guest speaker, Crystal from Anchorage Project Access. She will talk about what her agency does to help people receive medical services if they cannot pay. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have two other June presenters scheduled, Andy from a company, Accessible Pharmacy and Deborah Kendrick, an author. Deborah has written two books, one about dealing with medical professionals as a blind or low vision person and her most recent book covers information for those who may experience both vision and hearing loss. She is an excellent author and speaker. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is the connecting information.
