Volunteers and health care workers welcome residents as they arrive to receive the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine at Nissan Stadium.
Nashville officials are calling the weekend’s drive-thru mass vaccination event a success after putting 10,000 doses in the arms of local residents. The event ran for just more than 13 hours, and brought together people from all walks of life.
WPLN’s Damon Mitchell interviewed six vaccine recipients at Nissan Stadium — Christine Skold, Tyler Long, Thom Shavor, Christopher Waller, and Jason and Erin Tomlinson — to find out their plans now that they have a new sense of comfort.
In the above audio story, they rejoice at the opportunity to hug family members, work in-person and attend gyms, restaurants and concerts.
