Since its inauguration more than 10 years ago, Shots for Tots & Teens has immunized more than 2,000 children, free of charge. Immunizations and TB skin tests are offered to all infants, adolescents and teenagers under 18 years old. California law requires that all children must have up-to-date shot records to attend school or child care centers. The immunizations will protect against diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, polio, tetanus and whooping cough. The event, which will be held in the hospital’s cafeteria, is sponsored by Saint John’s Health Center and the Santa Monica Rotary Club. Free valet parking is available off of Santa Monica Boulevard. The free shots will be offered on Saturday, April 24, from 10 a.m. to noon. Call (310) 829-8234.
