CDC’s new online tool shows you where COVID-19 vaccines are in stock

[Jacob Siegal]

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently launched an online tool that lets you see which providers in your area have COVID-19 vaccine doses in stock.
• The tool is available on VaccineFinder.org, and for now, only residents of Alaska, Indiana, Iowa, and Tennessee can see the full list of the vaccine providers in their area.
• More providers in more states should be added to the website in the coming weeks.

Earlier this week, President Joe Biden celebrated a significant milestone as the US soared past 50 million COVID-19 vaccine shots. When he took office, Biden pledged to have 100 million Americans vaccinated within his first 100 days, but even with winter storms and logistical issues plaguing the distribution of the vaccines, the US is still weeks ahead of schedule. The pace could pick up even more quickly if Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine is authorized for emergency use. J&J says it could start shipping millions of doses as early as Monday, March 1st.

This is all great news, but actually scheduling an appointment to get a shot is all but impossible for countless eligible Americans. Here in New York, many people are turning to a Twitter account called @TurboVax that notifies followers of appointment openings in real-time. If you aren't prepared to click a link seconds after it is shared, you're probably out of luck. This is an issue all over the country, but the CDC is working on a potential solution.
