Tami Mueller of Sacramento waits in line to add her name to a vaccine waitlist at the Urgent Care Now in Arden-Arcade, California on Friday, February 19, 2021. Mueller has been unable to get a vaccine through her medical provider, so she is hoping, along with more than two dozen others in line, to get a same-day call to fill in for a COVID vaccine when a scheduled appointment cancels or is a no-show.
