When the first iterations of the COVID-19 vaccine were approved for emergency use, it seemed like there was finally light at the end of the tunnel.

Scripps worked with the county to ramp up its vaccination efforts at one of the most expansive locations around: the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The Scripps Del Mar Vaccination Super Station opened in February with the capacity to administer up to 10,000 shots a day, depending on supply.
