SAN DIEGO, CA — The Scripps Del Mar Vaccination Super Station at the Del Mar Fairgrounds will be closed Friday, March 12, through Sunday, March 14, due to the low number of COVID-19 vaccine doses that were delivered for the week, Scripps Health announced Tuesday. The station will reopen Monday, March 15.

Patients with second dose appointments will be rescheduled from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to Monday automatically through the MyTurn online appointment system, according to Scripps Health.

Additionally, some Wednesday appointments at the site will be rescheduled to Thursday due to a programing error on the MyTurn system, according to Scripps Health. The system offered 1,800 more appointment slots for those two days than actual vaccine doses received.
