BLOUNT COUNTY, Tenn. — County health departments across East Tennessee received shipments of the Moderna vaccine on Monday and were able to start giving out shots.
In Blount County, first responders were at the top of the list to get vaccinated.
"Christmas has come early," Tara Sturdivant, the medical director for the east region of the Tennessee State Health Department said.
No shiny bow or wrapping, but a "present" in the form of a vile.
"We have been preparing for today for weeks and we're just excited finally to be able to put some shots in arms," Sturdivant nodded.
