Long Island educator Laura Russo has been arrested for allegedly administering a COVID-19 vaccine to a minor without training or parental consent.
New York media confirms that Russo, 54, was arrested on New Year’s Eve after police were “tipped off” by the child’s mother.
Police say the 17-year-old boy was at Russo’s home “when she jabbed him with ‘what is believed to be a Covid Vaccine.’”
She reportedly did this intentionally, telling the minor that it was an “at home vaccine.”
NBC New York reports that Russo is not a medical provider, and is no way qualified to administer the controversial COVID-19 vaccines.
Many of the COVID-19 vaccines require very specific procedures for storage and injection that require the years of training associated with those in the medical field.
It is believed that Russo is a science teacher. According to NBC 4, “She appears to be a science teacher with Herricks Public Schools in New Hyde Park. District officials say the allegations are not related to school and did not occur on school property.”
