Here's what http://VaccinateCA.com got done yesterday, Day 10: * We called several hundred pharmacies across California, asking pharmacists under what circumstances they could vaccinate. We publish their answers. We've made ~2.5k calls total in 10 days to 1.6k locations.

* We found 35 new vaccination locations with the vaccine available and published the instructions for getting in line, including eligibility criteria and appointment scheduling instructions, to our site. We have almost 300 locations with availability on the site now.

* We announced the CEO internally (it's me). We announced a head of product/design (
@malthe) and a website tech lead internally. We'll continue clarifying organizational structure so our volunteers have clear lines of communication to maximize for impact of their work.1 reply 0 retweets 21 likesShow this thread -
* We continued calibrating the collaboration between our volunteers, our real-time queue management leader (we still don't have a name for this position), our data science team, and our pre-qualification efforts.

What does that mean for the mission? It means that, for our sharply limited call capacity as of Day 10 and 11, we waste less calls which will be futile (e.g. to a location we "should have known" would have no vaccine, based on emerging knowledge we have high confidence about).

This means that, for a given amount of volunteer time and other resourcing, we should discover more vaccine and particularly more overlooked vaccine, allowing us to publish instructions on how to get it and accelerate it's journey into the arms of Californians who need it *now.*

Stay tuned for what we plan to do on today, Day 11. I've been so deep in organizational things that I am not entirely sure what various workstreams are prioritizing at the moment. We're definitely getting to the point where meetings would be helpful.

Are we moving fast enough? No. It is impossible to move fast enough in a pandemic. But we are accelerating, and unlike the enemy, we can work on accelerating faster with purpose and intensity.

We are an extremely small part of society's response effort, but we will do our part to the utmost of our ability. Every day matters. Every dose matters.

Replying to @patio11
I finally was able to schedule an appointment for both parents and a friend today. I don’t know why, but the Vons/Albertson’s site seems to change availability drastically from minute to minute. I would recommend that ppl keep refreshing and retrying even in the same hour.
