California has launched a new pilot website for residents to find out when it s their turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The site, called My Turn, lets users schedule vaccination appointments as well as register to be notified via text or email when they become eligible, if they aren t already. Currently, the feature is only available for health care workers and people 65 and older in Los Angeles and San Diego counties.
Officials are aiming to make it available statewide in early February.
During a Monday afternoon press conference, Gov. Gavin Newsom said the tool was more than just a notification system or reservation system with state clinics, as other states have.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) The line of health care workers and those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine wrapped around the block outside a clinic in Riverside Wednesday morning. Some people said they had to wait for more than an hour and a half. What s the point of making an appointment if we all have to wait in this line, said one Temecula resident whose mother tried to sign up for an appointment online, only to be told she was placed on a waiting list and had to register again later.
