The number of Los Angeles County children afflicted with a COVID-19-associated inflammatory syndrome reached the 100 mark today, with health officials confirming an additional 10 cases of the malady.
When Christine Yano got in line at the COVID-19 vaccination site at the Forum earlier this month, she came armed with proof of her eligibility.
Though only 33 years old, Yano qualified because she is the mother of 15-month-old triplets with chronic lung disease.
She showed staffers a letter from the Department of Developmental Services, and another from one of the agency’s regional centers. In her arms, she held a stack of medical records that offered more proof, including a prescription for her children’s oxygen.
But workers at the site denied her the shot. The letters, they said, could be fake.
