BAY SHORE, Long Island (WABC) Northwell Health became one of the first health systems in the nation to administer the single-shot Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine Wednesday.
The third vaccine authorized for emergency use has shown 85% effective at preventing severe disease and was administered to a patient being discharged after hospitalization at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore.
Susan Maxwell-Trumble, 67, of Babylon, had hip replacement surgery Tuesday and is believed to be first in the Northwell system and among the first in the country to receive this vaccine. I just wanted to get it, instead of waiting, she said. And then how do I get it? Who do I see?? Where do I get it?
