HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- He's a 39-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas and now, he's made history becoming the first COVID-19 ICU nurse to receive the Pfizer vaccine at Memorial Hermann Hospital.
He also became the first person in the entire city of Houston to receive it. In a room full of cameras, a visibly emotional Robert Luckey got his dose on Tuesday morning.
