At least three children who were held in detention centers after crossing into the U.S. from Mexico have died in recent months, in part, from the flu, according to a letter to Reps. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., from several doctors urging Congress to investigate health conditions at the centers.
The United States had previously gone almost a decade without any children dying while under U.S. immigration custody.

Here i believe school kids of ethnic groups are vaccinated against tuberculosis where as native kids are not.
So i guess we are doing the opposite. I think the thinking is the grand parents go back on holiday to Pakistan and other countries that have vast amounts of diseases that we have under control.
No body wants to see a sick child its horrible

Are things different in the US? Do they know the strain? Do they have the vaccine ready in the US? Or do they have a limited stockpile at this point and are saving the vaccine for a possible health emergency? How many people detained at the border? Do people want them all vaccinated?
Once the person got the flu the vaccine would be too late?
This seems more of a non-story. Currently, in North America, no one is offering the flu vaccine because IT IS NOT flu season.
I never get the flu vaccine.
It's not about not getting vaccinated now, it's about the plan not to vaccinate when the vaccine becomes available.
Deliberately not providing an inexpensive health care intervention that would significantly improve morbidity and mortality in this group of people at high risk for such infectious illnesses because of the conditions of custody. Three children died of influenza in custody over the last year, and likely many others became ill when it could have been avoided.
They are only supposed to be incarcerated for three days maximum, but we all know that this target isn't met, so yes, giving the vaccine is of value.
9.9 million people in Sweden. Almost 3.5 times that just in California. A little easier to take care of a few then to take care of many. But keep bashing America because we all agree on some orange asshole’s completely ass backwards policies. Oh wait, the majority of us don’t.

No need being this insecure about living in a middle-of-the-pack country not keeping up with the rest of the developed world in the name of greed.
It's okey. Just catch up.
Are Flu shots free in the US? They are here in Ontario (I never get the flu shot myself). It is supposed to be a bad flu year they are predicting.
By the way. It’s spelled okay not okey. Just catch up.
Cue horrible meme response now.
Is it ignorant and/or stupid to come off as knowing about my "bashing of America" but at the same time claim it is because of Donald J Trump?
And give me a break about him loosing the majority. Roughly 50% chose him. Matters none that Hillary got a mere 3 million more votes out of 140 million. A fabricated silver-lining.
Just admit it. America touched you in the no no place when you were younger. Just talk about it. Talking helps.
The point is it’s easier to run a household than a neighborhood. It’s easier to run a neighborhood than a city. It’s easier to run a city than a state. So on and so on. Your country barely has the population of greater Los Angeles yet you wanna talk shit. How many people are trying to migrate to Sweden for a better life. The answer is not many. And if most Swedish people are ignorant and arrogant and just Trolls who love nothing more than shitting out crap they read on the internet then fuck Sweden. But I’m sure they are not and that’s why your inside on a dumb forum all day and night spouting ignorance and horrible memes. Do everyone here a favor. Get off the computer and go get laid, smoke a bowl, have a beer. Whatever it takes to get out your unfounded aggression. Do what you want. Arguing with ignorance is just making me sad so I will no longer indulge you or your bias views.
