NYC #tech friends❗️So, we all want COVID vaccinations to go faster. 💉❤️

Heard of all the stories of folks struggling with the city / state / county websites for vaccine signup? Well, experts say this issue is about to grow bigger and bigger. 1/7
So far, the major vaccination constraint has been supply, but as more and more doses become available in the coming weeks — the bottleneck will quickly become the frustrating, antiquated, poorly-designed, buggy websites themselves. 2/7
Already, the whole thing is confusing and overwhelming and thus some vaccination locations have huge wait lines, while others have doses sitting without use. This will only become worse with scale.

I hope some of you may want to help out. 3/7

Vaccine Availability

Keeping track of vaccine availability, and COVID-19 news, for California.

Primary focus right now is on tools for volunteers to crowdsource accurate data, for pharmacists to submit their latest, up-to-date availability, and on crawlers for data that’s already publicly available but hard to access. 6/7
Think of this like a Wikipedia, but for getting shots into arms.
