The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
But it has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for use in individuals 16 years of age and older.
A healthcare worker in New York City was the first person in the US to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Nurse Sandra Lindsay received the shot at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens.
“I feel great … It didn’t feel any different from taking any other vaccine,” Lindsay said shortly after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
