The United States is the sixth country to approve the COVID-19 vaccines. The Pfizer vaccine and Moderna vaccine will be distributed to the country. It was a long way to getting the vaccine but first responders, federal officials like President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be getting it.
In New York City, a Black nurse will be the first American to be getting the vaccine.
UPS and FedEx have committed to shipping the vaccine to the hospitals. The vaccine must be kept at temperatures at -94 Fahrenheit.
Sandra Lindsay is an American hero. |
Sandra Lindsay was the first American to receive the vaccine. She took it the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens. The borough of Queens has one of the worst COVID-19 cases in the state.
New York governor Andrew Cuomo watched as Sandra gets the vaccine in her left arm.
“It didn’t feel any different from taking any other vaccine. I feel hopeful today, relieved. I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history. I want to install public confidence that the vaccine is safe,” Lindsay said.
“This is the light at the end of the tunnel. But it’s a long tunnel,” said Cuomo.
Trump as expected took credit for the vaccines.
First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!
