The provincial leaders said last week that the site should finally close well before baseball returns to Petco Park. The Padres said they would allow fans in a limited capacity in the stadium if San Diego County moves into the red level, which according to the country’s leaders will happen on Tuesday.
In early March, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria announced that homeless shelter operations at the convention center, which began with the onset of the pandemic, had begun to decline. Provincial supervisor Nathan Fletcher said the conference center was a candidate for a super-site, but only if the province has an increase in vaccine supplies.
“It will be pending the arrival of a significant increase in vaccines,” Fletcher said. “So we do not know when it will be, but we are making arrangements and preparations to apply it.”
The Petco Park Super Station was the province’s first large – scale vaccination site and began with the goal of administering 5,000 shots each day. The site served more than 2,500 health workers on the first day of service.
The province operates five other vaccination superstations in partnership with various healthcare networks, as well as dozens of smaller satellite locations. A list can be found here.
