The first mass vaccination site in San Francisco is scheduled to open at City College of San Francisco's Ocean Avenue campus on Friday for what the city's COVID Command Center is calling a "soft launch." The city, in partnership with several health care providers, is planning to administer about 500 vaccines that day to test out operations before ramping up.

Appointments must be scheduled through residents' health care providers, but all of tomorrow's slots have been filled.

Two other sites, at Moscone Center and The SF Market, south of Potrero Hill, are expected to open around the beginning of February.

Pending supply, officials hope to to ramp up to vaccinating 10,000 people a day, with the goal of reaching most San Franciscans by the end of June.
