COVID-19 Updates

Vaccination Appointments Encouraged, Walk-Ups Welcome Too
Getting vaccinated is now easier than ever. Orange County is trying to do everything it can to address challenges with getting your COVID-19 vaccine and is now allowing walk-ups to its County-operated Super Point-of-Dispending (POD) vaccination sites.
Those with scheduled appointments never have to worry about the availability of their dose, but now walk-ins will be welcome each Monday through Saturday.
Walk-ins may experience longer wait times and availability may vary based on site demand. For a list of sites, visit covidvaccinefacts.com and find a location nearest to you.
