CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Those who have taken the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine often come away from their first innoculation with questions.
Lorelei Saliani, a cancer patient from Ingleside with older parents, says it was very important for her to get the vaccine even though she had to deal with the confusion of a mega vaccination event.
âIf Iâm going to die from this cancer, I donât want to die not being able to see my parents, said Saliani. I donât want to kill my parents by seeing them. I can t safely go grocery shopping, I donât leave the house. I canât see my children or my five grandchildren.â

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The Nueces County Junior Livestock show is one event that was not canceled this year.
This was good news for Calallen High School senior Keifer Gunn, who has been showing pigs for nine years since he was 9 years old.
His pig s name is Romeo, a Berkshire breed. I have to make sure he has enough food, he s happy with his water, he s up and he s exercised, so you have to get him up and walk him around, Gunn said. Make sure he s relaxed and content with everything and then when it s showtime you gotta get you head in gear and get going.
