Watch for this site to go live - statewide. Right now you can register for alerts BUT you cannot currently schedule a vaccination appointment in Monterey County through this site. State officials are urging Californians to enroll at myturn.ca.gov, which will notify people when they are eligible to receive a vaccination. The tool will also be a scheduling tool to allow patients to make an appointment for a vaccination, Newsom administration officials said. The site--myturn.ca.gov-- was created in partnership SalesForce and Accenture, is currently part of a pilot initiative in Los Angeles and San Diego counties where individuals can also schedule their vaccination appointments. The full functionality of the program is expected to be expanded statewide over the next several weeks.
