COVID-19 Updates
County Super PODs to Close. Transition to Mobile Clinics to Begin in Early June.
Further efforts from the Orange County Health Care Agency to achieve mass immunity will be shifting to more community and neighborhood-based vaccination strategies.
To achieve this, the County of Orange will close its Super POD sites at the Anaheim Convention Center, OC Fair & Event Center, and Soka University, as well as Santa Ana College, on June 6, 2021, and shift operations to expanding network of robust mobile PODs.
All County Super and community PODs will offer the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine through close of business on June 5, 2021.
Community members are encouraged to access the schedule of upcoming mobile PODs by calling the OC COVID-19 Hotline at (714) 834-2000 or by registering and logging in to their account in the Othena platform at www.Othena.com. Mobile PODs will accommodate both appointments and walk-ins based on vaccine availability.
You can also visit, vaccines.gov for vaccine locations near you.
