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.
Torres, like most Metro Nashville students, spent most of the school year learning remotely. Once schools reopened, Torres was again sent home to quarantine after a classmate tested positive for COVID-19.

For some survivors of the Pulse Nightclub, Orlando Torres, visiting the memorial at the club site brings comfort. For others, like Maria Jose Wright whose son Jerry died at Pulse, it's still too painful.
