A shepherd in Germany enlisted her flock in a COVID vaccine campaign

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

With the help of some carefully arranged food, she herded her sheep and goats to create a picture best seen from the sky. The health-conscious herd formed a 330-foot syringe - now, not the most conventional form of outreach. But in any case, their message was clear. Get your vaccine.
