Montara resident Alan Joss and his former co-worker Amy Lighter drove a combined 952 miles to get their COVID-19 vaccines. After a cumulative 10.5 hours in the car together on their way to and from appointments, they got their second Pfizer doses on Sunday at a CVS in Hanford, Calif., a small town in Kings County.
After scouring county, state and private vaccine sites for an appointment anywhere within the Bay Area and coming up short, driving hundreds of miles on two Sundays was their best option.
âYouâve got to kind of figure it out on your own,â Joss said. âThere is no centralized system.â
