Parents and students ambled in and out of a school gym in South Nashville Friday though where Metro Nashville Public Schools, in partnership with the Metro Health Department, Neighborhood Health and Nashville Diaper Connection, hosted a vaccine clinic.
Viviana Sandoval brought her son, Orlando Torres, 13, to the McMurray Middle School Friday. The middle schooler needed to receive the required TDAP (tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis) vaccine for seventh grade but he also opted in for the COVID-19 vaccine as well.
