Comic Con attendees will be able to walk up to the vaccination site to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Vaccinations will be available during the entire Comic Con event in West Hall B of the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday, December 2 from 3:30pm to 9:00pm, Saturday, December 3 from 9:00am to 7:00pm, and Sunday, December 4 from 9:00am to 5:00pm.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The updated COVID-19 booster can protect against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the more recently spreading Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants. It is strongly recommended that everyone aged 5+ get the updated COVID-19 booster at least 2 months after any prior COVID-19 vaccine or booster dose.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Everyone 6 months and older should also be immunized against flu. Anyone can get flu (even healthy people), but people at high risk of developing serious flu-related complications include people 65 years and older, pregnant women, children younger than 5 years, and people with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or HIV).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Additionally, residents can also go to VaccinateLACounty.com to find nearby vaccination sites, request a mobile vaccination team for your worksite or community event, or an in-home visit if you or someone you know is homebound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES \u2013 The Los Angeles&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54950"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54951,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54950\/revisions\/54951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
