New Stockton Mass Vaccination Site Can Give Out Up To 5,400 Shots A Day
STOCKTON (CBS13) — Thousands more people will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine in Stockton as a new mass vaccination site opens on Wednesday.
The site, located at the Stockton Arena, is opening after a bit of delay. It was supposed to open back on March 30, but an insufficient vaccine supply delayed plans.

It's all part of a joint effort to establish large, temporary vaccination hubs in communities hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The site has the capacity to administer up to 5,400 vaccines daily and is set to be open seven days a week, but it will be contingent on supply.
This is the fourth mass vaccination site opened by a number of health care partners, including Adventist Health, Dignity Health and Kaiser Permanente.
