Here's Where San Franciscans Can Sign Up to Receive Notifications When They're Eligible for Vaccine

San Francisco’s text message service to alert city workers and residents when it is their turn to get the vaccine is now live, along with a dashboard that details the latest statistics about how many people have been vaccinated.

City residents can sign up to receive a vaccine notification at sf.gov/vaccinenotify.

After it launched, the website went down for a short period in the afternoon. Supervisor Matt Haney, who has been critical of the city’s vaccine rollout, called the launch of the site a “mess” on Twitter.

The city hopes to open vaccine hubs at the Moscone Center, City College of San Francisco’s Ocean Campus, and the San Francisco Produce Market in Bayview, sites where the city says it can administer as many as 10,000 doses per day when they are available.

Mayor London Breed said the city’s biggest obstacle is a critical shortage of doses, and residents will still likely have to wait months before receiving their shot in the arm.

City leaders say they will use up their vaccine allotment by the end of the week. San Francisco’s system has received 102,825 doses from the federal government.
