Reports the Reuters news agency. According to The New York Times (NYTimes), the historic vaccination took place shortly after 9 a.m. local time at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, New York.
The vaccine was placed while television cameras broadcast the story live.
– It doesn’t feel any different than taking another vaccine, Lindsay said after getting the vaccine.
– I feel good, I feel relieved. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of this very painful period in our history. I want to reassure the population that the vaccine is safe. We are in a pandemic and everyone must do their part, he said.
According to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Lindsay may be the first in the entire United States to be vaccinated.
Urgently approved vaccine
The vaccination took place after US authorities urgently approved the so-called Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Friday night. On Sunday, the transport of vaccine doses by truck and plane began to begin mass vaccination of the population.
About 145 locations are expected to receive vaccinations Monday.
About two minutes after Lindsay received her vaccine, there was also a congratulation from outgoing President Donald Trump.
He chose to congratulate the world. In the message write:
“First set of vaccines. Congratulations USA! Congratulations to the WORLD!”
New York hit hard
New York is one of the states in the United States that has been hardest hit by the corona pandemic. According to a survey by NYTimes, the total number of deaths in the United States has risen to almost 300,000.
In New York alone, the pandemic has cost more than 35,000 lives.
Healthcare workers who are at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic take priority when the vaccine is placed in New York. The neighborhoods most affected by the pandemic will then be prioritized.
– We are adamant that we will not distribute this vaccine according to who has the greatest wealth, the greatest privileges, or the most famous. We will distribute it according to the parts of the city that need it most. We will spread this vaccine quickly to everyone who needs it, Bill de Blasio, the city’s mayor, tells ABC7.
Three former presidents will take the vaccine
Among those who have already indicated that they will receive the vaccine are former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. CNN reported earlier this month.
They have volunteered to receive a coronary vaccine on live television.
This is done to build public confidence that the vaccine is safe.
The three former presidents hope that an attitude campaign will send an important message as US health authorities try to convince people to get vaccinated when available.
