NEW ORLEANS — The City Health Department held an outdoor vaccination event called 'Shots for shots" in Treme Sunday.
If a person got a vaccine shot then they would receive a coupon for a drink at Treme Hideaway or Kermit Ruffin's Mother-in-Law Lounge.
"We've got to work in the neighborhoods, almost block by block. I mean, that's real public health,"Dr. Jennifer Avegno, City Health Director.
