Orange County to Shutter Large-Scale Vaccination Sites
Orange County is shutting its super point of dispensing (POD) sites in June, its top bureaucrat said May 6.
“Now that we satisfied the majority of that demand for people that want to come through that process … we think that there’s an opportunity for us to shift to a mobile platform,” County Executive Officer Frank Kim told reporters.
The shuttering sites include those at Soka University, Anaheim Convention Center, Orange County Fair and Events Center, and Santa Ana Community College. They’ll close June 6.
The decision to shut the large-scale inoculation hubs was the result of a “healthy market for vaccines” at retail pharmacies and health care centers, according to Margaret Bredehoft of Orange County’s Health Care Agency.
