The two sites combined have administered about 445,000 doses of vaccine since they opened. The Los Angeles site had doled out roughly 215,000 doses as of Tuesday.
FEMA and state officials said roughly two-thirds of the shots administered at the sites have been to under-served communities and people of color.
