It is unknown how many times daily.

However, the OC Healthcare Agency warned on Tuesday that only those with reservations would be vaccinated. The agency said the other three vaccination sites were “overwhelmed” by people who appeared without reservations. Those without them are turned away.

“The county’s three existing distribution sites were overwhelmed by unbooked individuals today, effectively closing vaccination sites,” OCHA wrote in a news release Tuesday. “It is important for people to understand that reservation slots are available based on the availability of vaccines. Appearing without reservations stresses the system and depletes scarce resources.”

Disneyland will be one of the five OC vaccine supersites. Oliver Chi, manager of Huntington Beach, told the Voice of OC last week that other large-scale vaccination supersites will be set up at Knott’s Berry Farm, Orange County Fairgrounds, Great Park and Soka University. It was.

Also on Tuesday, OC Health Officer Dr. Clayton Chau announced that anyone over the age of 65 is eligible for vaccination. This is in addition to healthcare professionals, emergency response personnel, and residents of skilled nursing and living support facilities.

“People in the ICU who use ventilators are usually crowds of 50 or more and are definitely biased towards crowds over 65,” Mission Hospital-Mission Viejo’s Dr. Jim Keany told CBSLA on Tuesday. .. “We continue to be vaccinated, so start reducing your needs and get through the population as soon as possible.”
