An intensive care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center who was the first in the country to roll up her sleeves for a COVID-19 vaccine received her booster today.

Sandra Lindsay made history in December of 2020 when she received the first Food and Drug Administration-approved Pfizer vaccine in New Hyde Park.

Lindsay, along with two other individuals, received their boosters today.

"The science recommends that people with my risk factors being on the front lines get a booster shot, and so I am continuing to protect myself while also protecting my community," says Lindsay.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention agreed to authorize the Pfizer booster shot for those age 65 and over, those 18 to 64 with underlying health conditions and front-line workers.

In each of the cases, those eligible can receive the vaccine six months after their last shot.

Johnson & Johnson asked the FDA to authorize booster shots Tuesday for their COVID-19 vaccine.

An advisory committee is set to meet next week to talk about the Moderna and J&J vaccine boosters and decide on guidance.
