New York Teacher Arrested After Allegedly Giving Teenager COVID-19 Vaccine Without Parental Consent Or Medical Background
A New York teacher has been arrested after reportedly administering a 17-year-old boy a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine despite not being legally allowed to do so and lacking parental consent. NBC News reported that Laura Russo, 54, was arrested on New Year’s Eve in Sea Cliff, New York, for allegedly giving the shot to the unnamed teenager.
“According to the department, the 17-year-old boy had visited Russo’s home, where she administered what was believed to be a Covid vaccine to him,” NBC News reported. “It is unclear how she came to obtain the vaccine.”
As a result, Russo has been charged under the New York State Education Law Unauthorized Practice of a Profession.
In a video obtained by NBC 4, Russo can be seen allegedly giving the anonymous student an injection:
