On Thursday, my heart was deeply moved as Girasoles Medical was blessed by Bishop Tamayo. I can’t even begin to express the emotions that filled the room — gratitude, peace, and a quiet sense of fulfillment.

Before my mom passed away, she would always remind me that we needed to bless the office. Somehow, we never got around to it. Life happened, time slipped by… and then she was gone.

Standing there during the blessing, I couldn’t help but feel her presence so strongly — as if she was right beside me, smiling that warm smile of hers, finally seeing her wish come true. 🌻

This moment wasn’t just a blessing for the office — it was a blessing for my heart.

I know she’s proud. I know she’s with me. 🙏💛

We were blessed with the precious visit of my little dumpling, Julian 😊🩵. He brought immense joy to our office while momma and grandma shopped for medical supplies, showcasing his remarkable calmness 🥹.

He was not a fan of being our model for the day 🙈😂🙊 but as an auntie I was not giving up 😂

He brought warmth and happiness back into Girasoles Medical Supply 🩵

Be considerate of others and wear a mask if you're showing symptoms, especially around vulnerable individuals like the elderly and babies with compromised immune systems. 🌻💛

As a community we need to take care of each other 🫶🏻

CITY PRESS RELEASE:

Laredo Public Health Advises Community of the Continued Rise in Whooping Cough Cases

The Laredo Public Health Department is encouraging the community to take preventative action as whooping cough (pertussis) cases have risen significantly compared to the same time last year. Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause severe illness, especially in infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. While the disease is serious, it is both preventable and treatable and vaccination remains the most effective way to stay protected.

Who Should Get the Vaccine?
Children should begin the DTaP vaccine series at 2 months of age, with additional doses at 4 months, 6 months, 15–18 months, and 4–6 years. A Tdap booster is recommended at age 11–12.
Adults should receive a Tdap booster every 10 years to maintain protection.
Pregnant individuals should receive a Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy, ideally between 27–36 weeks, to help protect their newborns during the early months of life.
Close contacts of infants—including parents, grandparents, and childcare providers—are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated to protect babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROTECTION:
Children should receive a Tdap booster at ages 11–12.
Adults should receive a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years, depending on medical advice.
Pregnant individuals should get a Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy (preferably between 27–36 weeks) to protect newborns in their most vulnerable months.
Close family members and caregivers of infants should also be vaccinated to reduce the risk of transmission.

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS:
Pertussis often starts like a cold, with sneezing, mild cough, and a low fever. It can develop into severe coughing fits, vomiting, or exhaustion. If you or your child experience these symptoms, especially after known exposure, seek medical guidance promptly.

Laredo Public Health encourages all residents to check their vaccination status and stay up to date with recommended immunizations. Tdap vaccines are available through our clinic for individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or children covered by Medicaid or CHIP. Those with private insurance are encouraged to receive their Tdap vaccine at local pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, H-E-B, or Walmart. Staying informed and vaccinated is one of the best ways to protect yourself and others. For more information or questions about vaccinations, please contact Laredo Public Health at (956) 795-4906.
