On this episode of The Eagle, reporter Eduardo Medina recounts his experience following Mission staff on their quest to locate and vaccinate as many people as they could.

Also on this episode, Times Union Editor Casey Seiler discusses a clash this week between protesters and police at Albany's South Station, reporter Claire Bryan takes a deep dive into CDC guidelines for the fully vaccinated, and writer Azra Haqqie talks about how some in the local Islamic community are finding they have had more time to focus on spirituality as they enter the second Ramadan since the pandemic began.
