College of the Canyons and Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center to serve as vaccination sites
Los Angeles County is shifting to community-based vaccination sites.
Starting next Monday, College of the Canyons and Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center will begin operating as county-operated vaccination sites in the northern part of Los Angeles County. Both of these sites will replace Six Flags Magic Mountain, which will cease providing vaccinations on Sunday. These new vaccination sites will centrally serve residents from both the Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley communities.
The College of the Canyons and Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center vaccination sites will each have the ability to administer up to 2,000 vaccinations per day and will provide walk-up appointment options.
“I am incredibly grateful to Magic Mountain for their generosity and critical partnership as we provided the vaccine to thousands of residents at their mass vaccine distribution site,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “Ensuring equitable vaccine access for communities in the North County is a priority and I appreciate the collaboration between the County and our community partners, including Magic Mountain, to run efficient operations that support our monumental task of vaccinating our residents. Moving forward, we are continuing to provide crucial vaccine accessibility for residents in both the Antelope and Santa Clarita Valleys.”
The vaccination site at Magic Mountain began operating in January. Approximately 129,000 vaccines have been administered at that site.
It is one of five large-scale vaccination sites operated by Los Angeles County. The remaining large-scale sites operated by the county are:
- Pomona Fairplex in Pomona.
- The Forum in Inglewood.
- California State University, Northridge.
- L.A. County Office of Education in Downey.
In addition, two smaller-scale, walk-up sites are also operated by the county.
L.A. County residents are able to confirm their eligibility and make their vaccination appointments by visiting VaccinateLACounty.com.
