COVID vaccine: otherwise unclaimed doses

[redbird]

A friend just pointed me at this site that matches people who want to be vaccinated with otherwise-unclaimed doses, and avoids the problem of people queuing outside in the cold for those doses.

They ask for your zip code*, date of birth, what industry you work in, and whether you have any of several medical conditions. The FAQ says I might hear from them, but only if I am in a group that is eligible for vaccination, and nobody who is higher priority, lives near me, and has signed up and is available.

The site is called Dr. B. Probably nothing will come of this, but it's free, and I see no reason not to sign up.

*Yes, it's US-only.

Thanks for passing this along! I dunno if it'll get me anywhere, but I signed up anyway.

They should do that here.

Agreed on this.

Thanks! I'm passing it on to friends and family and colleagues.

Thanks for this; I signed up.

(I continue to marvel that the lack of national response means I'm in a higher priority group in NJ - my current legal residence - than in MD (where I am living at present, mostly due to the pandemic).

Although the UK is using up unused doses the same way but in our case the surgery puts out the shout- that's why we got our first shot two or three weeks early.

Seems like a great resource - I'd love it if something like that existed in the UK!
