To make it easier for San Diegans to make an appointment to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus, the County today launched a new interactive map containing all the vaccination sites.

With the new map, users can select a location and connect to the website appointment system. You can access the map by visiting www.vaccinationsuperstationsd.com.
“We try to make it easier for people to make an appointment and to be vaccinated when it’s their turn,” said Wilma J. Wooten, MD, MPH, public health officer. “The vaccine is safe and effective and is the best tool to slow down the pandemic.”
