The state office of Emergency Services and FEMA has announced that the large-scale coronavirus vaccination center at California State University Los Angeles will close Sunday, April 11 after operating for 8-weeks.

A similar facility at the Oakland Coliseum will also shut down that day.

The sites were set up with the goal of vaccinating about 6,000 people a day, but they ended up serving about 7,500 a day.

Two-thirds of the shots were targeted at low-income residents and people of color.

The state will begin using the single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine now at county clinics.
