How to get a remaining dose of COVID vaccine in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (KABC) – More than nine million Californians have been vaccinated. But from time to time, there are residual doses of COVID-19 vaccine at the end of the day.

Now, local Facebook groups are helping people find backup doses.

Doug Ward co-founded the vaccinehunter.org website about a month ago when he was trying to find a dose of coronavirus vaccine for his mother. He managed to find one with advice from a local Facebook group.

“I decided to build a website to help people find their local vaccine hunting groups to help anyone and everyone get vaccinated,” he said.

The LA County Department of Public Health reports that less than 10 percent of people do not show up for their appointments.

So what happens to these doses? Well, your local vaccine hunting group can help make sure it’s not wasted.
