Attention Health Workers: You Can Now Get Vaccinated At Dodger Stadium

As part of the effort to supercharge the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, Dodger Stadium opened today as a mass vaccination site, ending its role as a location for coronavirus tests.
For now it’s reserved for those working health care and nursing homes. The county still has another 500,000 health workers who need to get immunized before it can move on to inoculating those 65 and older, along with first responders and other essential workers.
Some 200 people will staff the Dodger Stadium site, with the target of vaccinating 12,000 people a day.
We’ve got all the details on how it works when you go for your shot.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
