LOS ANGELES — Inside their Glassell Park home, Louis Salazar Jr. gently rubbed the foot of his elderly mother, who lay in bed as a nurse prepared her COVID-19 booster shot.
"I'm going to vaccinate you now, OK?" licensed vocational nurse Angela Tapia told the 88-year-old woman, who has Parkinson's disease and is immobile.
Salazar, 64, watched and counted down out loud from the foot of the bed. "Three, two, one — see?" he said as Tapia swiftly applied a bandage. "Perfect."
