"The more vaccine supply we receive, the sooner we are able to get those doses into the arms of Angelenos safely and quickly.

Mobile Outreach for Vaccine Equity (MOVE) teams, which bring vaccines into underserved neighborhoods, will deploy to areas in South L.A., East L.A./downtown, and the San Fernando Valley, including Green Meadows, Harvard Park, Boyle Heights, Westlake, Arleta, Sylmar and Glassell Park. That program has administered more than 46,000 doses so far, with 90% of them going into people of color and those in communities most impacted by COVID-19.

Last week, the MOVE program administered 12,000 doses, and the city's permanent sites administered more than 70,000.

About 40% of last week's doses were administered in the sites operating in highly impacted areas: USC and Crenshaw Christian Center in South Los Angeles, San Fernando Park and Hansen Dam in the East Valley and Lincoln Park in East L.A.
