News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Dec. 23, 2020:
A lot has been written already, and more needs to be said, of the Caribbean-born doctor, Dr. Michelle Chester
who delivered the first COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine in the US
and of the Caribbean-born nurse, Sandra Lindsay who was the first in the US to receive the shot.
But few know that one of the scientists who helped create the much-needed COVID-19 vaccine
BNT162b2, was also born in the Caribbean region.
