Before she heads off to college at John Jay in the fall, Imani Thomas of Riverhead will have a lot to check off of her ‘to-do’ list.
The 18-year-old took the first step Wednesday afternoon as she rolled up her sleeve for her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at Peconic Bay Medical Center’s Robert Entenmann campus downtown.
“I’m a little nervous,” Ms. Thomas said before checking in. She’s the first Riverhead teenager to receive the vaccine from PBMC.
