There has been a stir in the US for the past twenty-four hours over the decision by Placer County Council in Roseville, California, where the vaccine center was forced cancel over 5,400 appointments to leave the main hall of the “Placer Valley Event Center” to the organizers of the event SacAnime.

Placer County is located in Northern California’s Sierra Nevada and has a population of just over 400,000. Of these, around 5,400 residents near the town of Roseville saw their appointment for the first weekend in April disappear The county government has asked the vaccine center to leave the venue in SacAnime, which will be hosting a live event from April 2-4, 2021.

SacAnime attempted to clarify the situation through a press release stating that the vaccine center “would decline the offer to stay open anyway,” and The organization was always ready to reduce the space in the main hall to allow the administration of doses. Katie Combs-Prichard, a council spokeswoman, said that “the clinic’s closure was announced well in advance” and that “about 90% of those waiting had to get the second dose,” which is not a serious postponement. The clinic said it would make up for lost hours on Monday 5th and Tuesday April 6th, but the complaints on social media clearly haven’t stopped.

SacAnime returned to the event and explained this It will be a simple live meet with flea marketsand that all applicable health regulations are observed with a safe distance and mandatory mask. The organization had already postponed the event twice, once last September and once in January, again due to Covid.
