L.A. COVID-19 vaccine sites reopen after being closed ahead of Chauvin verdict

LA Times  

Vehicles make their way through the COVID-19 vaccination site at Dodger Stadium on Feb. 25. COVID-19 vaccination sites run by the city of Los Angeles are back up and running after being temporarily shuttered in anticipation of potential demonstrations stemming from the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial. The locations that were closed as a “simple precaution” Tuesday afternoon — Cal State Los Angeles, Crenshaw Christian Center, Dodger Stadium, Hansen Dam, Lincoln Park, Los Angeles Southwest College, Pierce College, San Fernando Park and USC — will operate as usual Wednesday, according to Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office. It’s unclear how many appointments were put off because of the pause — which went into effect before Chauvin, a white former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of a Black man, George Floyd. Vaccination sites run by Los Angeles County — including the Pomona Fairplex, the Forum in Inglewood, Cal State Northridge and the L.A. County Office of Education in Downey — remained open Tuesday, according to a county public health spokesperson.
