Hollywood and media workers cut vaccine line, causing clinic closure: Health officials
by Kaelan Deese, Breaking News Reporter |
| March 10, 2021 08:42 AM Pasadena, California, officials canceled a coronavirus vaccine clinic after hundreds of ineligible media and Hollywood workers signed up for appointments, they said.
Elderly residents and local workers were jumped over by around 900 appointment slots as media workers who did not yet qualify for the vaccine left only 600 empty slots open for eligible vaccine recipients, the Pasadena Public Health Department said Tuesday.
The clinic was designated for people over the age of 65 and workers who live or work in Pasadena, city spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.
"Hundreds signed up within the first hour," Derderian told the Los Angeles Times. "It was like rapid fire."
