Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, received the first COVID19 vaccine dose in the United States.
The shot was administered by Dr. Michelle Chester, director of Northwell Health employee health services and the injection was broadcast across multiple platforms.
“This is a special moment, a special day. This is what everyone has been waiting for,” said Dr. Yves Duroseau, MD, chair of emergency medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital. “To hopefully see this is the beginning of the end of the COVID issue.”
Dr. Duroseau urged New Yorkers to continue to comply with safety measures like mask wearing and social distancing even as the vaccine begins to be deployed.
Despite an International Association of Firefighters push to be at the front of the line for COVID19 vaccine delivery, more than half of FDNY firefighters said they would decline the COVID19 vaccine if offered.
Lindsay started nursing in 1994.
