Last week Christine White, a 25-year-old motion designer who lives in Brooklyn, tried her luck with the walk-in vaccine line at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.
When the coronavirus ravaged the city last year, the hospital was an early epicenter of the pandemic. (One of its veteran nurses Amy O’Sullivan was picked as one of Time’s persons of year for 2020). But as access to the shot grows, Wyckoff Heights bustles with a brighter kind of energy.
It was around 6:30 in the morning. While White waited her turn, she noticed a man who she calls “Cute Beanie Boy” queued up behind her. He had dark curly hair and glasses—a “little nerdy,” White says.
