ROCHESTER, N.Y. â Sangita Kami might be afraid of needles, but she is all smiles after getting her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
What makes her even happier is that everyone, from the greeters to the person giving her a shot, speaks her language.
âThe access here is so nice,â said Kami.
This pop-up vaccine clinic in Rochester, New York is for the deaf.
âDeaf people who already have the vaccine have mentioned how frustrating it is to navigate that system,â said Donna Neligan Barret.

Qatar s Al Rayyan and hosts FC Goa both will seek their first win in the 2021 AFC Champions League when they square off in a Group E encounter at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium today.
Al Rayyan who are falling short in their bid to advance to the Round of 16 at the 10th time of trying, began their 2021 AFC Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against the Goan side before going down 3-1 against Iran’s Persepolis.
The Laurent Blanc-coached men then lost back-to-back to UAE’s Al Wahda (3-2, 1-0) to suffer early elimination. Blanc’s side sits bottom of the standings but the Frenchman is adamant that their position doesn’t do justice to their quality and with the likes of Yacine Brahimi, Yohan Boli and Shojae Khalilzadeh in his squad, he will expect three points against FC Goa.

Al Sadd’s head coach Xavi Hernandez said consistency would be the key if Al Sadd are to progress to the Round of 16 as he side takes on Al Wehdat in 2021 AFC Champions League Group D fixture at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, today.
Al Sadd have endured a mixed campaign, needing a late goal to salvage a point against Foolad before being comprehensively beaten by Al Nassr 3-1 on Matchday Two.
The Qatar champions, however, rediscovered their best form against Al Wehdat and will be aiming for another three points. The Spanish legend urged his players to show the intensity they did in the first half against Al Wehdat on Monday.
