The pending closure comes amid a broader slowdown in demand across the region and country, a trend that is concerning public health officials. “The process that will allow us to demobilize Dodger Stadium will allow us to maintain vaccine capacity and spread it out citywide,” Gorell said. Vaccine supply and resources attached to Dodger Stadium will be redistributed elsewhere, including USC and other mobile clinics. The update also means that Dodger Stadium can host more fans for games — though Gorell said that the closure of the clinic was not tied to the reopening status. The move to close the site at Dodger Stadium means that such groups will become even more integral to the vaccine rollout, in reaching those who have so far deferred a shot.
