Disneyland, which was closed due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), will be converted into a large-scale vaccination center.
According to Reuters on the 12th (local time), health authorities in Orange County, California, USA, decided to vaccinate local residents this week at Disneyland in Anaheim City.
Orange County set a goal of completing vaccinations for all residents by early July, and decided to open four large’PODs’, including Disneyland.
“We are proud to use our building to support Orange County and Anaheim’s efforts to fight the coronavirus,” Disneyland Chief Medical Officer Pamela Heimel said.
Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidoo said, “The coronavirus has caused a public health crisis and the destruction of the local economy. At the super vaccination site (to be installed in Disneyland) we will overcome both.
The home stadium of the teams of the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) will also be transformed into a vaccination center one after another.

California and the city of Los Angeles (LA) have decided to open a large vaccination center at Dodger Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the goal of inoculating up to 12,000 people a day.
In addition, a vaccination facility will be installed at Petco Park, the home of the Padres in San Diego, and CalExpo, a large fairground in Sacramento.
Governor Gavin Newsom said, “Current vaccination strategies are not directing us to where we need it as quickly as possible. We are spurring large-scale vaccination sites (to speed up vaccination).” .
In addition, New York Mayor Bill Double Lazio and Steve Cohen, owner of the Mets of New York, decided to build a vaccination facility at Citifield Stadium starting on the 25th.
The Citifield Vaccination Center is run by the New York Health Hospital and aims to vaccinate 5,000 to 7,000 people a day.
“With the vaccine, we can overcome this crisis and return to normal life,” Cohen said.
There are also discussions on how to mobilize state defense forces across the United States to accelerate large-scale vaccinations.
CNN broadcast citing an official from the transition committee, president-elect Joe Biden, saying, “Currently, there are only 12 states including California that use the National Guard for vaccination.” I’m doing it,” he said.
