“Orange County is working around the clock to make the COVID-19 vaccine available to everyone who wants it,” Andrew Do, chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement. “This second vaccination site at Soka University will allow us to vaccinate thousands more residents every day.”
