Stanton, Calif. (March 31, 2021): Stanton's most vulnerable residents rolled up their sleeves today to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at a mobile Point of Distribution (POD) site at the Stanton Community Center. The Stanton City Council pushed to fill the gap for residents that could not make it to the super PODs throughout Orange County. This effort offered a local and familiar option, made possible through a partnership between the City of Stanton and the Orange County Health Care Agency.

Our City Council is extremely grateful for the opportunity to prioritize Stanton’s older adults and most vulnerable population. To conduct outreach, Community Services Staff were able to mobilize and connect with residents via phone calls and in-person assistance to secure appointments. Overall, 400 community members received their first dose of the vaccine.

The City will continue to work with the County of Orange to ensure that residents have access to the vaccine and are currently adding additional dates for future mobile PODs.
