California’s largest COVID-19 vaccine site opens in Bay Area

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) — California’s largest COVID-19 mass vaccination site is opening on Tuesday and it’s in the Bay Area.

Governor Gavin Newsom joined 49ers president Al Guido as well as county officials for the opening..


Vaccinations started as soon as the announcement was over, for eligible county residents only.

But those who haven’t pre-registered for an appointment will have to wait — all slots are already booked up for opening day.

California encourages all its residents to sign up for its My Turn system, which sends a notification to people when they become eligible to get the vaccine.

Eventually, the stadium is expected to vaccinate up to 15,000 people per day.
