Nick Rodriguez is one of the many San Jose residents now eligible for a vaccine, but he has had no luck booking a time and date for it.
"I haven't been able to get it yet," he said. "I'm trying to figure out when that can happen."
Dona Fisher, an Alameda County resident, wants to help people like Rodriguez.
Fisher is a retired chief financial officer turned vaccine finder who has managed to notch hundreds of appointments for people.
She says persistence pays off.
"Think of it as a video game; once you get to a certain level, whether it's a drug site, MyTurn, or whatever, don't go back ," she said. "Even if they say there are no more appointments, there are. Stay there, toggle, and something will show up."
