LOS ANGELES (KABC) A California program that is intended to improve vaccine availability in underserved communities is reportedly being misused by people outside of those areas.
The My Turn vaccine program relies on special access codes that allow people to make appointments on its website.
The codes are provided to community organizations.
But the Los Angeles Times reported Monday that some of the codes have also been circulating through texts and messages in more affluent areas.
And people who are not yet eligible for the vaccine have been getting appointments.
One of the major goals of the site is to distribute vaccines more quickly and equitably to communities of color who have been hard-hit by the virus. The site will offer vaccines for both drive-thru and walk-up appointments. It will also deploy a mobile clinic that will visit local community centers and schools.
