Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, will become the first “super” COVID-19 vaccination site in Orange County, which, along with Los Angeles County, has quickly become one of the most affected areas of America by the pandemic.
The site will be up and running by the end of this week, according to the Orange County Supervisory Board.
“It is important to vaccinate as many people as possible for COVID-19 and we need space to do so,” Supervisor Donald P. Wagner said in a statement.
Orange County plans to set up five more “super POD” vaccine sites – which officials say could ideally vaccinate thousands of Californians a day.
Vaccinations on the Disneyland website will be scheduled through a third-party application that was developed in cooperation with Orange County.
Officials said most citizens eligible to receive the vaccine will be contacted through their employers to set an appointment. The Disneyland site will not host walkups.
