A New York woman is facing charges after allegedly injecting a 17-year-old with a coronavirus vaccine without his parents’ permission.
The alleged incident involving Laura Russo, 54, happened on New Year’s Eve inside her home in Sea Cliff, Nassau County Police told the New York Post. Russo, who works as a science teacher at Herricks High School, has since been charged with unauthorized practice of a profession.
“The individual in question is a district employee who has been removed from the classroom and reassigned pending the outcome of the investigation,” Herricks Public Schools Superintendent Fino Celano told Fox News Digital on Monday. “The alleged incident is non-school related. As this is a matter of personnel, the district has no further comment.”
