Last week, the city had to delay at least 12,500 vaccination appointments at the six largest city-run venues, including Dodger Stadium, as shipments were delayed by icy weather across the country. At least 60,000 doses were delayed in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Some other local jurisdictions, such as Orange County, also had to delay appointments due to shipping delays.
