Edwards waited approximately two hours to receive her shot despite her scheduled appointment.
According to Kaiser Permanente, an estimated 1500 people are scheduled to receive their vaccine Monday at the Redwood City site.
Cindy Heagney, an employee at Kaiser Permanente, said she hasn t seen this many people since vaccinations began. It took me 30 minutes to park, she said. It s foot heavy, car heavy. I had to text my manager and tell her I m late because of this, but I m happy to be late.
The extra demand is due to California opening up vaccine eligibility to include those 16 to 64-year-old people with certain pre-existing medical conditions.
