COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Updates

People over 65 are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Los Angeles County residents who are 65 years old and older can now register for COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

The vaccine supply is still extremely limited, and Los Angeles County continues to urge patience as we work urgently with our federal and state partners to expand capacity and supply in the weeks ahead.

The opening of appointment registration for a new tier comes as the County opens five large capacity vaccination sites across the County. These large-scale vaccination sites started operating Tuesday, January 19, and will be able to vaccinate approximately 4,000 people per day at each site, significantly increasing the number of people vaccinated.

The large-scale vaccination sites will aim to vaccinate 500,000 Los Angeles County residents in a month. Visit VaccinateLACounty.com to learn more about the vaccine, the vaccination distribution process and to schedule your appointment.
