THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) — Five COVID-19 vaccination sites in Los Angeles will temporarily close due to a shortage of doses, Mayor Eric Garcetti said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
That includes Dodger Stadium, which is one of the largest vaccination centers in the United States, The New York Times<\/em> reported. The five sites will be closed on Friday and Saturday, and are scheduled to reopen by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, according to Garcetti.<\/p>\n “We’re vaccinating people faster than new vials are arriving here in Los Angeles,” he said at a news conference, The Times<\/em> reported. “I’m concerned as your mayor that our vaccine supply is uneven, it’s unpredictable and too often inequitable.”<\/p>\n The city had received only 16,000 new doses of the vaccine this week, about the same amount it uses in a single day, Garcetti said. Other parts of the country have experienced similar issues, as demand far outpaces supply and vaccine providers struggle to predict how many doses will arrive.<\/p>\n
