NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â This weekâs winter storms in Tennessee have forced Nashville to delay its COVID-19 vaccinations and close its community assessment centers. However, despite the treacherous weather, Mayor John Cooper said the delays have not resulted in any wasted doses.
Due to the weather delay, Metro said it had 400 doses of the vaccine that were about to expire. So, they took that supply to The Nashville Rescue Mission and administered it to about 250 individuals who wanted to be vaccinated. The Room In The Inn also brought some individuals over. The remaining doses then went to those on Metroâs standby list.

âWhen thereâs a tornado or fire or hurricane, there is a disaster recovery plan,â says entrepreneur and philanthropist Marcus Lemonis about the Christmas Day explosion that gutted Second Avenue. But there isnât a playbook for this.
The federal government has not yet issued an emergency declaration for Second Avenue, though Gov. Bill Lee requested that the feds do so on Saturday. That means there is not (yet) FEMA money to aid those who lost homes, businesses or employment as a result of Fridayâs bomb. However, there is aid out there, and some of it is available immediately.
