Last week, the city had to postpone at least 12,500 vaccination appointments at the city’s six largest locations, including Dodger Stadium, because shipments were delayed because of icy weather across the country. At least 60,000 doses were withheld by delays in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Some other local jurisdictions, like Orange County, also had to delay appointments due to shipping delays.
