A shot in the arm

Public health nurse Deanna Bressler-Montgomery gives Tdap immunization to Compton Mayor Aja Brown at the city’s Back-to-School Family Health Fair on Aug. 2. The event, co-sponsored by South Los Angeles Health Projects and the Immunize L.A. Families Coalition, was held at the Compton Town Center. Looking on are Soledad Ramirez, member of the Immunize L.A. Families Coalition, and Heidi Kent, executive director, South L.A. Health Projects. Brown decided to become immunized after Oliver Brooks, M.D., chair of the Immunize L.A. Families Coalition, encouraged her to protect herself and those around her.
