Zuckerberg San Francisco General and Southeast Health Center opened at 9 a.m. to administer COVID vaccines, but by 10:30 a.m. the Department of Public Health tweeted that both sites had no more doses. The hospitals were supposed to be open until 3pm to drop in and make appointments.
“Because of the huge demand, Zuckerberg SF General Hospital and Southeast Health Center have submitted all vaccinations for today,” DPH tweeted on Saturday.
It was a disappointing day for the many people who had just been eligible for vaccine under the new San Francisco rules. The city announced on Friday that it will extend the availability to anyone 16 years and older living in the zip codes hardest hit by the pandemic. The zip codes (94124, 94134, 94107, 94110, 94112, 94102, 94103 and 94130) span Bayview, Hunters Points, Visitacion Valley, Portola, Sunnydale, Excelsior, Mission, Oceanview, Ingleside, Balboa Park, Potrero Hill, the Dogpatch. , Mission Bay, SoMa, Tenderloin and Treasure Island.
“We arrived 6000 people before 09:00,” said dr. Lukejohn Day, headquarters of San Francisco, told KGO. The hospital estimates that there are approximately 2000 doses available per day.
Those who want to try again today are welcome to. Anyone 16 years and older living in the appropriate zip codes can visit one of the two vaccination sites that should not be booked: Zuckerberg San Francisco General at 1001 Potrero Ave. is open daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Southeast Health Center at 2401 Keith St. is open daily from 09:00 to 15:00. The only vaccine approved for the age of 16 to 17 years is the Pfizer survey available at these two sites.
Anyone 18 years and older in one of these areas can visit the Southeastern Health Center at Keith St. Daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 2401 inloer. This place has the Moderna vaccine.
