to the vaccine led to longer lines and headaches for workers at four sites run by the city of Los Angeles set up to provide doses exclusively for healthcare employees.
Public health officials began offering the vaccine to healthcare workers at three COVID-19 testing sites last week andWord spread quickly by text and email that no one was verifying healthcare credentials at some locations. By Monday, dozens of people were showing up at the city sites in Pacoima, Lincoln Heights, South L.A. and the San Fernando Recreation Park in hopes of getting an early dose of the vaccine.
At the Lincoln Heights clinic on Tuesday, one elderly man who would not give his name refused to leave after a worker turned him away. He repeatedly told her he had a lung condition and a signed note from his doctor that qualified him for an early vaccine. Growing increasingly distressed, he yelled, “You have to help me!”He eventually left, disappointed.At the Crenshaw Christian Center, security was far more lax Monday.
The vaccination site was in a corner of the Crenshaw Christian Center’s expansive parking lot. At 3:15 p.m., when the woman arrived, roughly 100 people stood in line outside the parking lot, and about 100 more fell in behind her. Many were elderly. The reporter did not observe any of the people ahead of the woman being turned away.
Aren’t there already risks of vaccines going bad because officials are so concerned about making sure the right people get them first? Articles like this are only going to slow down the vaccine rollout further and likely cause vaccines to go unused. Thanks a lot LA Times

Typical Los Angeles
Appalling to turn away elderly. _stah
Dumb headline. It IS a problem & is described in your article where you mention that the 'loophole' was quickly closed. What is the need to feed into this hysteria? We don't need to make people giving vaccines the enemy.
WOWZERS UNREGULATED VACCINES NOT A GOOD IDEA. NEED TO TEST!!!!!!!!!!
