Just one day after the city of Los Angeles he announced his plan for the transfer of Dodger Stadium to a COVID-19 mass vaccination site, Orange County officials have revealed similar plans for Disneyland. The happiest place on Earth will soon become the most vaccinated place on Earth (sorry, these things are inevitable), as Weekly entertainment rEPORTS that Disneyland Resort has generously offered itself as a Super POD (distribution site) – probably the least possible, given that Disney chose to keep Disneyland open during a pandemic that led to Los Angeles County recently exceeding 12,000 deaths in a post-holiday wave.
According to the county, the Disneyland Resort Super POD will operate sometime this week and will have the capacity to vaccinate thousands of Anaheim residents daily. The COVID-19 vaccine was launched in stages at the national level, the first being the elderly, healthcare and front-line workers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 9 million people have received the first of the two vaccines since Jan. 11, while only 151,000 people in the U.S. have been fully vaccinated (received both doses) since Jan. 8, according to a New York Times report. The Department of Health and Human Services is moving into implementation new vaccine guidelines in an effort to speed up the distribution process; these guidelines, which would make people over the age of 65 eligible to start receiving the vaccine, will be announced today.
