LOS ANGELES (WABC) Amanda Kloots, the widow of Broadway star Nick Cordero, got her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine seven months after his death.
She said in an Instagram post Friday that she is grateful to be vaccinated against the virus that left her a single mom. I have been terrified since Nick has passed, as a single mother, of getting this virus and now I am one step closer to safety, she wrote.
She was criticized by some for getting the vaccine because she is 38, but she explained she waited in a long line and only got the leftover vaccine doses that would have expired after all the appointments were filled for the day.
