Vaccination appointments will resume in Los Angeles after weather delays

LOS ANGELES (KABC) – Vaccine shipments that were delayed due to the weather are already on track and vaccination appointments will resume Tuesday in Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti said.

Last week the city had to postpone at least 12,500 vaccination appointments to the six largest sites managed by the city, including Dodger Stadium, because shipments were delayed by icy weather across the country. At least 60,000 doses were withheld due to delays in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Some other local jurisdictions, such as Orange County, also had to delay appointments due to shipping delays.

Garcetti said Sunday that doses are being shipped and that city-managed sites will resume operations on Tuesday. Those with postponed appointments will be notified Monday about rescheduling.
