Demand for COVID-19 vaccinations in California has reached a turning point. Gone are the days when people repeatedly hit refresh on their computers, hoping to score a vaccination appointment. Now some clinics are accepting walk-ins and others end the day with unfilled appointments. That’s forcing health and government officials to rethink their vaccination programs.
Ann Mitchell is on the frontline of those new efforts. She is a volunteer with Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula. Recently, she s been spending her days calling clients and setting up vaccination appointments.. Most of the people Meals on Wheels serves are homebound. Instead of having the clients arrange transportation to get a shot, Ann is arranging for the shots to come to them.
