In mid-January, 85-year-old Doris Bloch of San Francisco heard the coronavirus vaccine was becoming available. She called the city’s health department and was put on hold for close to an hour.

The soonest availability? Feb. 27.
“I thought, gee, that is a long time to wait,” Bloch said. “I’m 85. It’s a shame. It’s a damn shame.”

But what started as a one off became a regular photo shoot at 8pm each Wednesday evening, outside her home in Waltham Abbey, Essex.
