VaccinateCA was a community-run website that tracks the availability of COVID-19 vaccines in California.[1] [2] [3] [4] It was created by a group of volunteers who call hospitals, pharmacies, and other health care providers daily to gather information about vaccine availability, eligibility, and appointment procedures.[5] [6] [7] [8] The website then publishes this information and allows users to search for vaccination sites by region, county, or within a set radius of their ZIP code.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
