A 54-year-old woman from Long Island, New York, was arrested over the weekend for allegedly injecting what is believed to be a COVID-19 vaccine to a teenager in her home.
Laura Parker Russo, of Sea Cliff, is accused of administering a shot to a 17-year-old boy, who was not named, on New Year’s Eve without parental consent. Russo is not a physician or authorized to administer doses of the vaccine, Nassau County Police officials told the New York Post and other local media.
