In another sign of slowing demand for the COVID-19 vaccine, Los Angeles city officials announced on Friday that the mass vaccination site at Dodger Stadium one of the largest in the country will cease operations by the end of May, as part of a major shift to increase appointment-free vaccine availability at other city-run sites.
The pending closure comes amid a broader slowdown in demand across the region and country, a trend that is concerning public health officials. Appointments for the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine have decreased by about 50% at Los Angeles County-run clinics, county health officials announced Thursday.
Officials are not completely sure.
“I do know that across the county this past week we saw much fewer people coming in to get vaccinated. For the first time ever, we’ve had appointments at many vaccination sites that have not been filled,” said L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer during a news briefing Thursday.
Health experts and officials have attributed the drop to a variety of reasons, including ongoing hesitancy around the vaccine and access issues.
