It was recommended last winter that migrants in detention were given vaccinations against the flu, but the idea was rejected by US Customs and Border Protection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the US Customs and Border Protection vaccinate migrants in detention against the flu last winter, but CBP rejected the idea, according to a letter obtained by CNN.
The recommendations, first reported by The Washington Post, came from a letter CDC director Dr. Robert R. Redfield wrote in response to US Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro of Connecticut. In the initial October 4 letter, DeLauro asked if CBP spoke with the CDC about the child deaths at detention centers, if CBP asked for guidance about vaccination of migrants and if the CDC has spoken with HHS or the White House about CBP vaccination issues.
