For Tamara Lemus, getting her 13-year-old son Conner vaccinated was crucial.
“He has a history of stroke, and he s had three open heart surgeries so for him to be able to go back to school and be able to safely be around friends and family this is what we needed to do,” Lemus said.
Conner was born with three heart chambers and has had his fair share of needles. Nervous at first, he took a deep breath counted to three and got the first shot of hope.
“We re just really excited. We ve been waiting for this day for a really long time,” Lemus said.
