    “As a senior citizen, I was happy to receive the initial vaccination with no side effects and I look forward to the second vaccination,” Tribune Publisher Rosetta Miller-Perry said. 

    She further stated that “Blacks and Hispanics are dying from COVID-19 at nearly three times the rate of white Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and therefore it is urgent that our two highest-risk populations (Blacks and Hispanics) in Nashville do not fear being vaccinated.”

    Walter Hunt, Rosetta Miller Perry, shown at far left, and other patients wait socially distanced in the waiting room following their vaccinations.
    Dr. James E.K. Hildreth, president of Meharry Medical College and Bobby Jones, Ph.D., who hosted the Bobby Jones Gospel on BET for nearly four decades, talk with Perry during a
    waiting period to see if there are any side effects following the vaccinations.
