A nurse at a hospital in Connecticut became one of the first people in the United States to receive the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine on Monday.
Mandy Delgado, who works for Hartford Healthcare, was administered the shot around 11:40 am (1640 GMT), according to a live feed of the event.
"I'm excited. I feel privileged," the critical care nurse said afterwards, to a loud round of applause.
The first Moderna inoculations come a week after the United States began administering the Pfizer-Biotech vaccine.
