Critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay, who has been battling the virus for the last 10 months at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, received the first dose in New York, which was broadcast live.

Dr. Yves Duroseau, chair of emergency medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, is also expected to receive the vaccine.

"Both Dr. Duroseau and Nurse Lindsay have worked tirelessly to ease the suffering of COVID-19 patients since the virus outbreak began in New York 10 months ago," officials said, reports WCBS 880.
