NEW YORK - The first American to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in 2020 got her booster shot Wednesday.

Lindsay received her booster at New York’s Northwell Long Island Jewish Medical Center, the same place she received her first dose in December of 2020. "I feel hopeful today.
Relieved," Lindsay said when she got her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. FILE - Sandra Lindsay receives her COVID-19 booster shot.
