Her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, died of severe complications from COVID-19 after a three-month battle.
And now, almost eight months after her tragic death, Cordero’s widow, Amanda Kloots, took to Instagram and shared the joy of receiving the first dose of Pfizer vaccine.
While most people applauded her for patiently waiting in line to get a remnant of Pfizer shot at the end of the workday, the single mother would eventually feel the need to return to the vaccine tricks that they wondered how they might qualify for a vaccine in California.

Amara Kloots, 38, said she was thrilled to receive her first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 at a Los Angeles website on Friday.
Fitness instructor and co-host The Talk began by sharing a photo with her while receiving the vaccine in her left arm at a driving location in Los Angeles.
“I just got my COVID 19 vaccine!” Kloots wrote with obvious joy in his words before explaining how he managed to secure his inoculation.
“I went to a site and waited in my car until all the appointments were over in the hope that they would have additional vaccines. I was fully prepared to be away, but they said they had enough tonight for everyone waiting.
Humiliated: Kloots received coronavirus vaccination almost eight months after her late husband Nick Cordero died of severe complications from COVID-19 after a three-month battle and more
A sign of relief: fitness guru and co-host The Talk threw his thumb a few moments after receiving his inoculation in a driving seat.
Given that her husband died last July after spending 95 days in a Los Angeles hospital, it’s easy to see why Kloots was so excited and humiliated to receive the vaccine.
“I can’t tell you how emotional I was and still am. I had Elvis by my side and live your life playing in the car, ”she continued, referring to her 20-month-old son from her marriage to Cordero.
“THANK YOU to the National Guard who volunteered here today at 5:30 to administer the Pfizer vaccine to the desired weapons. I’ve been horrified since Nick passed away, as a single mother who got this virus and now I’m one step closer. Thank you to my friends @laurencpresent and @ thompoint0 for driving and being with me. ‘
Emotional: About an hour after her initial post, Kloots posted a video explaining how she received the vaccine, despite not meeting the age requirements for a California appointment.
Telling him the argument: Kloots broke away with excitement as he hit back at the vaccine tricks
About an hour after the publication of her original post, the 38-year-old posted a video explaining how anyone can get a coronavirus vaccination if they show some perseverance and patience.
“First of all, the shame of the vaccine should not happen. Everyone should receive this vaccine and whoever receives it should celebrate the fact that another person received the vaccine “, she started in the video.
“Secondly, I drove to a vaccination site in the hope and I knew I could be removed, but I drove and waited in line in the hope that at the end of the day, at the end of the appointments, they could have additional vaccines that otherwise would be thrown out. ‘
As her voice began to appear with more emotion, Kloots continued, “And instead of being thrown, they were put in one arm; an arm of a single surviving mother who deserves to have an extra vaccine that would have been thrown away.

Moments later, Kloots would make another video in which he explained his increased emotions and how he would have been “perfectly fine with the fact that she was returned” from receiving a remaining vaccine.
“Fortunately, the shooting worked and they were available. They were happy to have people there waiting with weapons ready, and I was happy to be one of those weapons. So please don’t be ashamed of my photo after this day when I am so grateful that I took this first step in vaccinating against this virus.
Nick Cordero was only 41 years old when he died in July last year after his long battle with COVID-19 complications.
During her fight for life, the Bullets Over Broadway star suffered from pneumonia, blood clotting problems that he forced doctors to amputate his right leg and severe lung injuries, among other extreme health difficulties.
