This weekend at select County-run vaccination sites, the Department of Health Services vaccination sites, and the L.A. City vaccination sites, everyone 18 years and older coming to get their first vaccine can enter the Los Angeles Lakers 2021-22 Season Ticket Vaccination Sweepstakes for a chance to win a pair (2) of season tickets for next season. For additional information, visit: Lakers Vaccination Sweepstakes. With millions of residents still needing to get vaccinated, this is an exciting opportunity that allows those still not protected to get vaccinated and perhaps watch the Lakers pursue another championship.

COVID-19 vaccinations are available at County-run sites and many community sites without an appointment. Anyone 12 and older living or working in L.A. County can get vaccinated. For now, only the Pfizer vaccine is approved for children, so make sure to go to a site that administers the Pfizer vaccine for children and teens. Teens 12 to 17 years old need to be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult.

Vaccinations are always free and open to eligible residents and workers regardless of immigration status.
