Pharmacy Apologize for Denying Illegal Immigrants U.S.-Funded COVID-19 Vaccine Posted on 3/26/2021 at 10:50:43 by Will Croom 2
While frustrated Americans across the country struggle to get their government-funded COVID-19 vaccine, a national drug store chain is apologizing for mistakenly denying illegal immigrants the shot. The pharmacy retail giant, Rite Aid, reportedly turned away two women at separate stores in southern California. In one of the cases, the illegal immigrant provided a foreign identification card that is not valid in the U.S. The pharmacist insisted on a social security card, telling the woman that American citizens have priority, according to a local news report. The woman’s son complained about the pharmacist on social media and a local congressman got involved, confirming that there is no legal residence requirement at the federal, state, or local level.
