Dodger Stadium COVID Vaccine Site: Information, Directions, First Look & More

For the last few months, Dodger Stadium has served as one of the largest COVID-19 testing locations in the country. With the ability to test over 12,000 Los Angeles residents a day, it has been very helpful in the fight against the coronavirus.

With the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine to the state of California, the biggest issue is distribution. Officials have struggled to find a way to make sure all residents have the access to the vaccine with the proper means of administering it. Dodger Stadium will now serve as a center for administering the vaccine as it makes the change from a testing center.

Below, we have a first look at the new setup at Dodger Stadium. There were an estimated 2,000 healthcare workers who received the vaccination just today as they work towards giving out over 12,000 per day.

At each location around Southern California, there are anticipated to be over 4,000 vaccinations delivered each day to prepare for mass distribution. Dodger Stadium is one of several spots that will be receiving this number.

For those wondering, there is no cost for the vaccination. Insurance will pay for it per the report, or the start government will step in to make sure that the vaccines are distributed without and interruptions. Mayor Eric Garcetti and Governor Gavin Newsom both made an appearance at Dodger Stadium today to talk about the opening of the vaccination center.
