Stream "Full Circle" live, weeknights at 5 p.m. (CNN) A doctor arrested for protesting border patrol's refusal to vaccinate migrants for the flu says, "a healthy 16-year-old should not be dying of the flu in 2019, especially in a first world country like the United States of America." Last year, three migrant children died from the flu while in Custom and Border Protection's custody, and this year's flu season is already underway. Last week at a news conference, US Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan said while his agency won't vaccinate migrants, it had complied with "a lot" of the CDC's recommendations to curtail the flu. Dr. Mario Mendoza, a member of Doctors for Camp Closure , is working to reverse Custom and Border Protection's decision not to vaccinate migrants against the flu.
