Disneyland will serve as one of five large-scale vaccination sites within the county. Not many specific details were shared during yesterday’s announcement, and we now have a few more updates!

Orange County’s mass vaccine sites are referred to as “point-of-dispensing” sites, or Super PODS. These sites are expected to vaccinate thousands of Orange County residents each day. Throughout the county, vaccines are currently being distributed in a phased, tiered approach created by the California Department of Public Health. Here’s what we know about how vaccinations will take place in Disneyland.

The current phase of vaccine distributions includes law enforcement first responders that serve in high-risk communities, as well as those 75 years of age or older. Those eligible must also either live or work in Orange County. Vaccinations are available by appointment only, and individuals will likely be contacted by their employer to schedule an appointment at the Disneyland Super POD site.
