L.A. County Supervisor Enraged Health Dept. Allows Clinics to Throw Unused Vaccines in the Trash L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn How Dare the Health Dept. Allow Clinics to Throw Vaccines in Garbage?!? Play video content THROWING VACCINES IN GARBAGE IS AN OUTRAGE TMZ.com
4:27 PM PT We just got a call from the Dept. of Public Health. The spokesperson pointed us to this provision in the guidelines . Each group should be targeted with sufficient outreach and mobilization before proceeding to the next group. However, exceptions may be made in order to prevent any vaccine wastage. Here s the problem . what exceptions? When a clinic has 800 doses at the end of the day, can a 30-year-old get a vaccine? Do they have to base exceptions on the priority lists? So, do they have to look for 800 70-year-olds before they move to the next group? It makes no sense, and there is no explanation.
