Vaccine clinics in Santa Cruz County
Anyone else want to rant about how bad the vaccine clinic system is?
- No info on the website
- try to make an appointment on the app and it just says "no appointments available"
- Only open 9-5 on weekdays (except for San Jose, which you won't find out unless you ask the person doing check-ins at the vax clinic)
- Only walk-ins (and with those hours everyone and their mother will try to come in at 4:45 pm on a Friday)
- Sign doesn't say that they might stop taking walk-ins before 5 if there's a line (I just watched 4 adults and 3 kids get turned away around 4:45)
- No communication with other staff (I asked the front desk if any of their clinics are open on weekends or outside of business hours and they didn't know.)
Like... Do you want us vaccinated or not, KP? I want my community vaccinated and y'all are doing the barest minimum in a way that probably lowers vaccination rates. It's bad public health and it's inequitable (some people, especially those with lower paying jobs or living in more remote parts of the county, can't take off work or flex hours easily).
(In case anyone's wondering, I'm new to being on KP so not being able to go to Walgreens or CVS or wherever to get my flu and COVID vaccines is new to me)
