Orange County’s vaccination efforts faced another challenge Feb. 10 when a refrigeration problem at its Aliso Viejo super site rendered some doses currently unusable.

“We are working with the vaccine manufacturer to determine if the vaccine can be used and will confirm at a later time,” county spokesperson Molly Nichelson told The Epoch Times. “Additional vaccine was brought in to fulfill all of the appointments scheduled at Soka.  No disruption to our vaccination efforts.”
