As Bay Area students return to the classroom this month, public health officials want to make sure every student is protected. Weekend events were hosted in San Francisco and San Jose to connect kids with the vaccines and resources that they need in preparation for the new school year.
"We got vaccinated today," said Katerina Kovalova.
"We know how hard the last two and a half years has been with COVID," said Dr. Susan Philip, San Francisco Public Health officer. "We know how important it is. We've seen COVID-19. We are hearing that polio has been detected on the east coast. So it's critically important kids are up to date on vaccinations," Philip said."That is something we're stressing -- for kids to get updated on all their vaccines -- because we see outbreaks routinely of mumps, measles, we want to make sure San Francisco is vaccinated," said Dr. Keith Seidel from the Southeast Family Health Center.
