Disneyland Vaccination Site Closed in Result of East Coast Winter Storms
Due to the widespread winter storms on the East Coast, there have been delays in the COVID-19 vaccine shipments, which in result forced the closure of the Orange County Disneyland Super POD site from Thursday until at least Monday.
Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles, also announced that vaccinations appointments for Friday at the city sites would be postponed. These postponements affect about 12,500 people. Those that are affected would receive an email, text, or phone call notifying them of the delays.

“The Disneyland Resort, the largest employer in the heart of Orange County, has stepped up to host the county’s first Super POD site – undertaking a monumental task in our vaccination distribution process,” said acting Chairman Andrew Do, First District, in a county statement announcing the site. “We truly appreciate the support of the Orange County Fire Authority, our cities, and our residents as we continue to rollout COVID-19 vaccinations throughout the county.”
“It’s important to vaccinate as many willing people as possible for COVID-19, and we need the space to do it,” said Supervisor Donald P. Wagner, Third District, said in the county’s statement. “I thank Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for stepping up in the shared effort to give OC residents protection against the virus.”
People are required to have an appointment to receive a vaccine at the Disneyland Resort vaccine site.
