COVID-19 Vaccines Begin in Disneyland Parking Lot

While Disneyland has remained closed for roughly 11 months due to the pandemic and restrictions from the California government, we previously shared the news that the theme park is being put to good use as a COVID-19 vaccination super site. Well, the vaccinations have officially begun!

As shared by the OCRegister: Cars and socially spaced crowds amassed at a Disneyland parking lot Wednesday, Jan. 13, as hundreds queued for coronavirus vaccines at Orange County’s first mass-vaccination site, a pivotal step toward county leaders’ new goal of delivering 1.5 million shots per month.

The tented site’s opening marks a new chapter in Orange County’s battle against the coronavirus as people age 65 and older, especially those who have underlying health conditions that might make them more susceptible to a bad case of COVID-19, can be vaccinated against the disease at the outset of the next, broader stage of the county’s vaccination campaign, called “Operation Independence.” Frontline health care workers are also still being vaccinated.

 

Don’t have an appointment? At this time, people will be turned away if they visit Disneyland without having an appointment.
