406ds agoA teacher from Herricks High
School has been reassigned after she was charged for allegedly giving a
student a COVID-19 vaccine without parental permission.
Nassau police say Laura Russo,
54, injected what appears to be a COVID-19 vaccine into the arm of the
17-year-old student at her home in Sea Cliff on New Year's Eve.
The student reportedly went
home and told his mother, who then called police.
The district issued a statement
saying that "the individual in question is a district employee who
has been removed from the classroom and reassigned pending the outcome of the
investigation. The alleged incident is non-school related. As this is a matter
of personnel, the district has no further comment."
Russo was given a desk
appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 21.
News 12 tried knocking on
Russo's door for comment, but there was no answer.
