Last week, the city had to postpone at least 12,500 vaccinations at the six largest urban sites, including Dodger Stadium, because transportation was delayed by icy weather across the country. At least 60,000 doses have been discontinued by delays in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Some other local jurisdictions, such as Orange County, also had to delay appointments due to shipping delays.

Garcetti said the doses will be shipped Sunday and that the city locations will resume Tuesday. Those who have postponed appointments will be notified of the rescheduling on Monday.
VACCINATION INSTALLATION: Delayed vaccines have now been sent to LA.
All six urban sites will resume on February 23.
Appointments will continue throughout the week.
The postponed Friday / Saturday appointments that took place last week will be rescheduled immediately and notified tomorrow.
