At a live video event, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo congratulated the first woman to receive the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine against the coronavirus. This is Sandra Lindsay, a critical care illness in New York.
“The first in New York and probably the first in the United States,” Cuomo said thanking Lindsay.
“It’s the light at the end of the tunnel,” Cuomo closed Monday’s event.
A few minutes later, President Donald Trump echoed, who from Twitter said, “First vaccine administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations MUNDO!”
The US has begun distributing millions of doses of the coronavirus vaccine, which it hopes will open a promising new chapter in the pandemic that began nearly a year ago in China.
The application of these fixed assets in the US, which is turning into moons, coincides with the search for the 300,000 deaths in the country and, according to estimates, expects the pandemic to arrive in the coming weeks.
In the US vaccination plan, this dose of Pfizer and BioNTech provides that it be applied in principle to health personnel who are exposed every day in hospitals across the country, and the elderly, one of the most vulnerable populations to coronavirus.
