LA's Dodger Stadium becomes 'mass vaccination' site
States in recent days have been adding vaccination capacity with the ad hoc conversion of sports venues, convention halls and empty schools into vaccine centers. Los Angeles officials have said that a testing site at Dodger Stadium would be converted to a vaccination hub.
"As it relates to vaccinations as well, we recognize that the current strategy is not going to get us to where we need to go as quickly as we all need to go. And so that's why we're speeding up the administration, not just priority groups, but also now opening up large sites to do so, meaning Dodger Stadium, Padres Stadium, Cal Expo, these large mass vaccination sites," Newsom told reporters at his daily briefing on Monday.
Nearly 9 million Americans had been given their first COVID-19 vaccination dose as of Monday morning, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, as states scrambled to step up inoculations that have yet to slow the roaring pandemic.
