Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, will become the first COVID-19 “super” vaccination site in Orange County, which along with bordering Los Angeles County has quickly become one of the hardest hit areas. by the pandemic in the United States.
According to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the site will be operational by the end of this week.
“It’s important to vaccinate as many people willing as possible for COVID-19 and we need the space to do that,” Supervisor Donald P. Wagner said in a statement.
Orange County plans to establish five more “super POD” sites for the vaccine, which officials say could ideally vaccinate thousands of Californians a day.
Vaccines at the Disneyland site will be scheduled through a third-party app developed in collaboration with Orange County.
Officials said most citizens eligible to get the vaccine will contact their employers to set up an appointment. The Disneyland site will not host walkups.
