Sandra Lindsay will receive the nation's highest civilian honor, along with 16 other people, including actor Denzel Washington.
NEW YORK -- President Joe Biden will present the prestigious Medal of Freedom to the New York nurse who was the first person in the U.S. to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Lindsay, a critical-care nurse who directs patient care services at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, used her instant fame to become an advocate for the vaccine and for health care workers. Lindsay told Eyewitness News last year that easing fears and concerns surrounding the vaccine remains her true passion.
Biden himself is a medal recipient. President Barack Obama honored Biden's public service as a longtime U.S. senator and vice president by awarding him a Presidential Medal of Freedom in January 2017, a week before they left office.
