Rite Aid says they 'made a mistake' after employee turned undocumented immigrant away from getting Covid-19 vaccine
CNN
After Sebastian Araujo's parents spent a week on a waitlist for leftover Covid-19 vaccines, the family was relieved when the pharmacy called to let him know that two spots had opened up.
On Saturday, the trio showed up for their appointments at a Rite Aid in Mission Hills, California, a suburb outside of Los Angeles, but Sebastian's mom, Graciela, 55, was turned away when she couldn't provide a state-issued ID or a social security number because she is an undocumented immigrant, he told CNN. Graciela did provide a Matrícula Consular, Mexico's consular ID, but it didn't suffice, Araujo said.More Related News
