Disneyland Vaccination Site Closed Until Next Week

Orange County officials this afternoon announced they'll have to close the Disneyland Super POD vaccine site today through Monday Feb. 22, because bad weather across the country has delayed delivery of doses.
The county says it didn't get its expected Moderna delivery on Tuesday, so Moderna inventory is very low (the Disneyland site primarily dispenses Moderna shots).
The county says the delivery delays will also affect the opening of another Super POD site at the Anaheim Convention Center, which was planned for next week.
Orange County's third super POD site is at Soka University in Aliso Viejo.
