LOS ANGELES (KABC) – More than nine million Californians have been vaccinated. But occasionally, doses of COVID-19 vaccine are left at the end of the day.
Now local Facebook groups are helping people find backup doses.
Doug Ward co-founded the website vaccinehunter.org about a month ago when he was looking for a dose of coronavirus vaccine for his mother. He managed to find one with advice from a local Facebook group.
“I decided to build a website to help people find their local vaccine hunter groups to help everyone get vaccinated,” he said.
LA County Department of Public Health reports that less than 10% of people do not show up for their appointments.
So, what happens to those doses? Well, your local vaccine group can make sure it doesn’t go to waste.
