Long Beach health officials said during the pandemic, many parents didn't take their children to their regular checkups, and they're reminding them the importance of up-to-date shots.
With the start of school around the corner, parents have a long list of things to do, and Long Beach health officials are reminding them to get their kids their immunizations.
"All the routine immunizations, that includes Hepatitis B, DTap, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, which is the MMR, Varicella and for our seventh graders, we do want to make sure they're updated with the Tetanus vaccine, so that would be the Tdap and also Varicella," said Sandra Diaz, the immunization coordinator at the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Resources.
"My kids are all up to date on their shots," said Qiana Mafnas. "We just got our seventh grader the last TDap shot so she can enter seventh grade. We are all vaccinated, last year with Pfizer, we got our booster shots."
