Starting Thursday, all Californians ages 16 and older will be eligible for a coronavirus vaccine — and there are several ways you can prepare, according to Bay Area vaccine-hunting experts.
First things first: Don’t get discouraged.
The searching process can be disappointing given how quickly appointments are snatched, and you might not find a slot on your first try — but experts encourage people to keep trying.
“If you start to feel discouraged or you’re not able to access an appointment — reach out for help,” said Lee Nevo Lamprey, a vaccine hunter for the Facebook group Bay Area Vaccine Hunters and founder of the It’s My Shot website, where she shares tips.

Pastor Victor Garcia and his wife Milagro hold their vaccination cards after receiving the J&J vaccine at their Iglesia Fuente De Salvacion Church on Saturday, April 10, 2021 in San Pablo, Calif.Paul Kuroda / Special to The Chronicle
Roxana Ramos went to church Saturday, but more for physical health than the spiritual solace typically associated with houses of worship. Along with about 400 other people, the 36-year-old Richmond domestic worker was able to get her coronavirus vaccination at Iglesia Fuente de Salvacion in San Pablo.
Ramos learned of the church’s clinic from a friend who attends Iglesia Fuente de Salvacion, after a disappointing realization that she was not eligible by age or employment category when she tried to sign up for a vaccination with Kaiser. To get a slot at the church, all Ramos had to do was call.

Chances of rain for the Bay Area this week have diminished, with daytime temperatures returning to the 60s after a week of record-high temperatures.
Metereologists last week expected a slight possibility of precipitation for this week. Instead, they’re looking for “any glimmer of hope” of rain, “but it’s not looking promising at this time,” the National Weather Service reported.
Mornings will be crisp and cloudy this week, with low temperatures in the upper 40s and highs in the 60s, and sunny afternoons. There is a slight chance of drizzle in areas along the coast.

Fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards are being sold online, and authorities have warned individuals not to buy or make one — which is illegal.
“Be aware of individuals selling fake COVID-19 vaccination record cards and encouraging others to print fake cards at home,” the FBI said in a public service announcement last week. “Fake vaccination record cards have been advertised on social media websites, as well as e-commerce platforms and blogs.”
