that we check in. every pregnant woman, to see if that, to see what their vaccination status is. there will be some people that need to get a booster. to be honest with you, i needed a booster. and so if you want to be certain that your vaccine is still valid and still working, you can definitely talk with your doctor about doing a simple blood test in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news a beloved child care center in marin county has been saved and will remain open. >> the ross valley school board approved the sale of fairfax san anselmo children's center, a nonprofit called the siderman legacy children's fund now owns the property and plans to lease it back to the child care center. the $2 million deal comes after the district voted to evict the center, due to it needing too many costly repairs. that center has been open since 1973, and i'm like, what are me? >> are you kidding me? >> i'm not going to believe this . a bay area woman finds herself in a bizarre legal battle in
