‘I trust science, what I don’t trust is getting COVID-19 … I want to be a part of the solution to put an end to this pandemic once and for all’ — ICU nurse Sandra Lindsay, the first person to get the COVID-19 vaccine outside trial in the U.S.
Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at a Queens hospital, became the first recipient of the vaccine in the nation, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
Amber Jamieson at BuzzFeed News:
A nurse from Queens became the first person to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the US on Monday morning.
Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, was vaccinated live during a press conference with Cuomo. The governor's office said Lindsay is the first person in the US to get vaccinated, besides those who participated in the vaccine's clinical trial.
"I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history," said Lindsay shortly after she received the injection, which received FDA approval on Friday night. "I feel hopeful today."
The first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine left Pfizer's facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Sunday morning, to be delivered to all 50 states on Monday. The FDA authorized emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine following an overwhelming 17–4 vote of confidence from an advisory panel of independent experts.
The vaccine, which will first be distributed to healthcare workers and residents of assisted living facilities, arrives at a pivotal moment in the pandemic which has killed nearly 300,000 Americans.
"I want to instill public confidence that the vaccine is safe, we're in a pandemic and so we all need to do our part to put an end to the pandemic and not give up so soon," said Lindsay.
The live vaccination was similar to the UK filming a 90-year-old woman becoming the first person in the country to receive the same vaccine last week, as public health authorities try and fight disinformation about the vaccine.
A southeast Louisiana nurse who works at Ochsner Health, the state's largest hospital system, became the first to get the vaccine in that state on Monday morning as Gov. John Bel Edwards looked on, NOLA.com reported.
Queens nurse Sandra Lindsay is the first American to receive the COVID-19 vaccine (outside of trials) this morning.
