January 12, 2021: The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, is about to become the first “super” COVID-19 vaccination site in Orange County, which along with bordering Los Angeles County, has quickly become one of America’s worst-hit areas by the pandemic.

Vaccinations at the Disneyland site will be scheduled through a third-party app developed in cooperation with Orange County.
