A group of physicians, alarmed that the Trump administration is denying flu vaccines to immigrants in custody, is urging that it accepts its offer to provide free flu shots to California detainees
A group of physicians, alarmed that the Trump administration is denying flu vaccines to immigrants in custody, is urging the Department of Homeland Security to accept its offer to provide free flu shots to California detainees.
“We implore you to allow our volunteer physicians to hold our requested influenza vaccine clinic,” the physicians stated in the letter. "As a law enforcement agency and due to the short term nature of CBP holding and other logistical challenges, operating a vaccine program is not feasible," the spokesperson said.
