New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio calls this the day we have been waiting and dreaming for as he applauded the first New Yorker to get the coronavirus vaccine.
The mayor says he got a feeling of hope and turning the corner as he watched the vaccination for Sandra, a nurse at a local medical center.
However, the mayor says the city may see another full shutdown similar to the spring and will likely see more restrictions quite soon.
He reminds New Yorkers the virus is surging and thinks New York is in for a tough month and tough January.
