The happiest place on earth is set to become a super site for the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, Orange County officials announced on Monday.
The resort will be the first of five regional POD, or point-of-dispensing, sites in the region, which will have the capacity to vaccinate thousands of residents per day, according to the county’s press release. It will be operational later this week.
“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,” county chairman Andrew Do said in a statement. “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.”
