Her trouble was found by a teacher in the USA, who vaccinated one of her students against the coronavirus. Her 17-year-old student and friend of her son allegedly asked her for it, since his mother would not let him.
The 17-year-old was vaccinated, according to the New York Post, on New Year's Eve at the home of 54-year-old Professor Laura Russo in Long Island, New York. Authorities were informed of the incident by the child's parents, as the 17-year-old told his mother that he had been vaccinated against coronavirus when he returned home.
There is also a video from the vaccination of the 17-year-old child, which has seen the light of day. This shows the 54-year-old teacher preparing the injection and giving it to him. "Here, vaccination at home," Laura Russo can be heard saying.

The 54-year-old physics teacher did not have a health permit to proceed with the vaccination of the 17-year-old and is being investigated by the authorities as to how she was able to get the vaccine. Also, the child's parents had not been informed, nor had they given their consent.
Laura Russo was arrested and is expected to appear in court on January 21, 2022.
