Getting the COVID Vaccine: It Ain't So Easy Part II

Back in February 2021 I had a rant about how getting the COVID vaccine is way more difficult as it should be, and San Francisco seems to be chronically UNDER-prepared for demand. 

Two months later, situation has NOT changed, even as California is supposedly ready to vaccinate EVERYBODY above the age of 16 very very soon (April 15th, this coming Thursday)

The Federal supersites closed April 11th... Yesterday. 

And the county sites don't take people from other counties. 

When the SF General Hospital (aka Zukerberg Hospital) announced they will vaccinate people in certain zip codes ahead of the 16 and over deadline last Saturday, they ran out. Same thing happened at Southeast Health Center. People started lining up an hour before opening. Both sites ran out within 90 minutes of opening (open at 9, ran out by 10:30) last Saturday. No idea about how bad it was on Sunday... or if they have anything for Monday... But it doesn't matter. it's not my zip code. 

And I STILL can't find an open appointment slot.
