In California, the western part of the United States, where the spread of the new coronavirus is particularly serious, the closed theme park Disneyland is also a venue for vaccination.
According to Johns Hopkins University in the United States, more than 210,000 new cases of infection per day were reported in the United States on the 12th, with approximately 46,000 in western California, where the situation is particularly severe.
Under these circumstances, at Disneyland, a theme park in Anaheim, California, which has been closed since March last year, the parking lot has become the venue for vaccination from the 13th.
A ceremony was also held on the first day, and Anaheim Mayor Sidhu said, "This was originally a place to enjoy with family and friends, but now it's not a normal time. We are a big step towards improving the situation. Will take a step forward. "
A white tent was set up at the venue, and about 3,000 pre-registered people, including medical staff and the elderly, visited and were vaccinated.
Local authorities want to strengthen their position and increase the number of people who can be vaccinated per day to 7,000.
In California, the baseball stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will also be used as a venue, and efforts are underway to accelerate vaccination.
