Wondering when it’s your turn to get the COVID vaccine? CA launches reporting website in LA, SD counties

California has launched a new pilot website where residents can see when it is their turn to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

The site, called My Turn, allows users to schedule vaccination appointments and register to be notified via text or email when they are eligible, if they are not already. Currently, the feature is only available to health professionals and people 65 and older in Los Angeles and San Diego counties.

Officials aim to make it available statewide in early February.

At a news conference Monday afternoon, Governor Gavin Newsom said the tool was more than just a reporting or reservation system with state clinics, as other states have done.

“It allows providers to automatically share all that data, not just with the state, but ultimately allows us to quickly share that data with the federal government,” Newsom said.

That will eliminate unnecessary paperwork and old systems that many clinics and vaccine providers grapple with, he said.

It will also allow them to enter more direct data on the number of injections taken, which he says will “fundamentally resolve” a delay in reporting that may make it appear as if fewer vaccines have been administered.

“It’s only as good as the clinics and network of providers are good. It’s getting more robust as more people come online … As more and more clinics sign up, more and more opportunities are taking advantage, more capacity becomes available,” at least on this platform versus other mechanisms and platforms to find out when it’s your turn, ”said the governor.
