As massive city-run clinics at Dodger Stadium and other locales closed Friday for lack of vaccine, a handful of much smaller pop-up mobile clinics are continuing to vaccinate seniors and health care workers.
One was at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza Friday morning, in the parking lot between Sears and the International House of Pancakes. Josalyn Faith Thomas, who’s 69, was among the 50 people standing in line waiting for a shot.
She used to come to the mall before the pandemic for entertainment.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed today it has opened an investigation regarding a photo showing nearly 40 mostly unmasked officers gathered downtown.
The photo taken Wednesday afternoon by photojournalist Brian Feinzimer, a contributor to the L.A. Taco website, shows the LAPD officers congregating near Union Station and the C. Erwin Piper Technical Center.
The officers were repelling off a building prior to the photo being taken, and nearly half of them appeared to be assigned to the LAPD s Metropolitan Division, L.A. Taco reported.
The LAPD has launched an internal investigation, Officer Mike Lopez confirmed.

On Friday, LADPH Science Officer Paul Simon announced that an estimated 1,051,229 doses of COVID-19 vaccines had been administered across the county.
“Because more people are being vaccinated we will be watching very closely to assess progress in ensuring equitable distribution of the vaccine,” Simon said at the time. “We already have a great deal of concern about people with more resources having better access to the vaccine either because of their access to technology and information, their ability to spend more time getting an appointment or their ability to travel to other areas of the county.”
Just under 11% of all Los Angeles County residents aged 16 and over have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose as of Friday, while only 2.6% of people in that same group had been fully vaccinated, according to Simon.
