1st vaccinated nurse in the U.S. reflects 1 year later

One year ago, a critical care nurse from Port Washington, who had emigrated from Jamaica more than 30 years earlier, rolled up the sleeve of her Long Island Jewish Medical Center scrubs and took a jab in her left shoulder that would change the course of American health care.

Since Sandra Lindsay, 53, became the first American to be inoculated with an approved COVID-19 shot on Dec. 14, 2020, she has become an international figure touting the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.


She was honored at the White House by President Joe Biden; traveled to Jamaica to meet with the island's prime minister; led a parade in Manhattan for health care workers; and had her scrubs, vaccination card and ID badge memorialized in a COVID-19 exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
