A fairly large allocation of vaccine arrived in Santa Barbara County this week, some of it courtesy of the state's new MyTurn vaccination appointment system. Cottage Hospital announced it had 10,000 doses of Pfizer to give this week, but residents must go to myturn.ca.gov to make appointments. The MyTurn system also automatically sends emails or texts to people who are signed up and yet to be vaccinated.
The Cottage press release notes the MyTurn website states up top that no appointments are available, but if you scroll down further to "other locations," the Cottage appointments for its Goleta hospital will appear.
As well, Lompoc Valley Medical Center has 250 vaccines scheduled for each day this coming week, second doses for this week and first doses after April 19, CEO Steve Popkin said. The hospital is also using the MyTurn scheduling system.
