The mother of an L-A Unified School District student is surprised when her 13-year-old son brought home a coronavirus vaccination card.
Maribel Duarte says her son told her he got free pizza for getting the shot. She claims an employee at Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in South L.A. gave her son a shot without her consent. Duarte said, “The lady that gave him the shot and signed the paper is the one who told him please don’t say anything, I don’t want to get in trouble”.
L-A-U-S-D would not comment saying student matters are confidential. Legal experts say minors cannot give consent to be vaccinated. Duarte says she isn’t against the vaccine, but was waiting to get her son vaccinated because he has asthma and allergy issues.
