'I encourage people to speak to experts who can answer their questions, to access trusted science,' Lindsay said.
The New York nurse widely considered to be the first person in the U.S. to receive the COVID-19 vaccine is still campaigning for Americans to receive the shot more than a year after she was featured in the widely-televised moment.
"I just felt broken, defeated, just tired and burned out,'' Lindsay said."Witnessing the overwhelming loss of lives, loss of livelihoods.'' A year after receiving her first shot at the beginning of the nationwide vaccination campaign, Lindsay has continued encouraging other Americans to do the same, speaking at events in both the U.S. and Jamaica, where she is from.
With the arrival of the omicron variant and new surges around the country, Lindsay's still addressing fears and misinformation. Some mistakenly believe the shots aren't needed if they eat well and exercise, Lindsay said. Others say the vaccines are a way for the government to track people or an experiment on Black people.
