The CSU Responds to Coronavirus Pandemic

Cal State LA to Serve as Te​st Site for COVID-19 Vaccination

To expedite the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Biden Administration plans to open 100 test sites in the first 100 days in office. In California, two mass vaccination centers have been identified as part of the pilot project: California State University, Los Angeles and Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. These areas were targeted in an effort to reach underrepresented communities that have been disproportionatel​y affected by the virus. Both sites are planning to be operational by February 16.
