Anyone 16 and older in California is now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination, but securing an appointment nearby may not be easy.
Thursday and Friday, it appeared few appointments were available locally. The stateâs MyTurn signup tool showed no availability near the Coastside or in the Bay Area. Local pharmacy websites like CVS, Rite Aid and Safeway were all booked up on the Coastside.
Appointments were sporadically available through Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health and other local health care providers this week, but many required traveling hours for open appointments.
A county update on Thursday acknowledged the difficulty residents are having in finding local appointments as supply remains limited. The county urges residents to turn to health care providers and local pharmacies that are getting larger numbers of vaccines.
