Archie Thomas is a church organist who grew up attending the Greater St. James Missionary Baptist Church in Evansville, Indiana. He still plays here occasionally.
But on this warm spring day, the 49-year-old is visiting for another reason to get his first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I do have a pre-existing condition diabetes so I thought it would be in my best interest to get vaccinated,” he said.
When Thomas learned about the popup clinic at the southern Indiana church, he talked his mother Elizabeth into going with him to be vaccinated. She took his picture to record the big moment.

SAN FRANCISCO – Nearly a year into a life-altering pandemic, many Americans are fed up with wearing masks, desperate for a return to normalcy and numb to the relentless stream of grim numbers, such as the 500,000 COVID-19 deaths the USA surpassed Monday.
Health care workers don’t want to hear any of that.
They have been working endless hours amid constant death and suffering, forsaking time off and exposing themselves to the disease, leaving them exhausted and with no real indication of when the pandemic will relent.
“There’s definitely some tangible fatigue on the health care workers’ side, being sick of COVID and sick of people disregarding public health guidance, getting sick and expecting us to defer another vacation or put off something else,” said Eric Cioe-Peña, an emergency room physician running a COVID-19 field hospital in Staten Island, New York.
