LaToya Davis-Hollis was vaccinated for the safety of her students.
LaToya Davis-Hollis, a Paint Branch High School teacher, was recently vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine to return to the classroom and protect herself.
"I wanted to make sure that I had as many protections as possible because I have a classroom of students I will have to engage with," she said. "This is my way of being a little bit safer."
