LOS ANGELES (KABC) Vaccination sites run by the city of Los Angeles reopened Tuesday after being forced to close for a few days due to shipping and supply issues.
Last week, the city had to postpone at least 12,500 vaccination appointments at the six largest city-run sites, including Dodger Stadium, because shipments were delayed by icy weather across the country. At least 60,000 doses were held up by delays in Tennessee and Kentucky.
On Sunday, Mayor Eric Garcetti said the doses were being shipped and that vaccine appointments would resume Tuesday. Sites reopened at Dodger Stadium, Hansen Dam, San Fernando Park, Lincoln Park, Pierce College and Crenshaw Christian Center.
More than 12,000 vaccination appointments in Los Angeles have been postponed because of weather-related shipping delays, Mayor Garcetti says.
Garcetti said Sunday the doses are being shipped and the city-run sites will resume operations on Tuesday. Those who had appointments postponed will be notified by Monday about rescheduling.
VACCINE UPDATE: Delayed vaccines have now been shipped to LA.
All 6 City-run sites will resume operations on Tue Feb. 23.
Appointments will continue throughout the week.
Last week’s postponed Friday/Saturday appointments will be rescheduled immediately & notified by tomorrow. MayorOfLA (@MayorOfLA) February 21, 2021
