Protesters interrupted a coronavirus vaccine distribution center at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, U. S. media reported Saturday.
Dozens of others with symptoms not easy to end confinement and sell vaccination conspiracy theories accumulated at the front of the site, one of the largest in the United States, published posts on social media.
“It turns out there are only about 30 protesters in total. We don’t know why they close all installations,” social media user Mikel Jollet tweeted.
Officials closed the site for about an hour, reported U. S. media, and mentioned chimney officials: the Los Angeles Police Department later insisted that the site had not been closed and that all vaccines would be distributed.

The incident represents only the latest challenge for the deployment of the vaccine in the United States, which has the number of international instances and deaths due to Covid-19.
More than 26 million people have become inflamed and 439,000 have died in the country since the start of the pandemic, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University in Satuday.
President Joe Biden has pledged to vaccinate another hundred million people in his first hundred days, but the deployment began slowly under former President Donald Trump.
Los Angeles County, where Covid-19 instances are higher this winter, has been vaccinating only frontline medical staff and others age 65 and older lately.
Even among those groups, appointments are incredibly difficult to obtain, with a limited number of Pfizer-BioNTech and Modern plans.
