SANTA ANA (CNS) - Orange County officials have announced they will shut down the county s mass COVID-19 vaccination sites in June due to a lack of demand for inoculations.
Instead, the county will focus more on mobile vaccination clinics to provide shots in areas where there is more resistance to getting the jab in the arm.
The Super Point-of-Dispensing, or POD, sites at the Anaheim Convention Center, OC Fair & Event Center, Soka University and Santa Ana College will shut down on June 6, officials said Thursday.
“It makes sense,” Andrew Noymer, a UC Irvine professor of population health and disease prevention, told City News Service.
