By Karli Barnett, CBS Miami December 10, 2021 While there has been a lot of attention surrounding the COVID vaccine, health officials want to remind parents about other immunizations.

In the last year, the vaccination coverage for this age dropped in Broward by about 50%—going from 94% in 2020 to 44% in 2021.
