Members of Congress urged U.S. Customs and Border Protection to change its decision not to vaccinate migrants against the flu.
A letter sent Monday by 65 Democratic legislators to Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan expressed "disappointment and alarm about the failure of CBP to provide recommended flu vaccinations to migrants in its custody."
The lawmakers' letter, led by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, came after the latest revelations about the deaths of three children under CBP custody over the past year, who died in part of the flu.
