“It has come to our notice that the registration link of Pesada’s Public Health Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic on Thursday was shared with a large group of individuals engaged in entertainment, news and production,” read a statement from Pesada officials this week. “This group is not currently eligible to be vaccinated according to state criteria, which is also indicated in the verbiage attached to the registration link.”
“Due to the complexity of verifying legitimate, vaccine-eligible registrars in the system, our health department has been forced to reschedule Thursday’s vaccination clinic.”
This is Thursday # COVID-19 The vaccination clinic is being canceled again due to the large number of ineligible persons registering for appointment. See statement below.

Newsome said, “I was down the other day at the only public housing site in East Latino and this is Dio looking at people who look like me, wondering what’s going on.
The governor and local officials confirmed that outsiders were using the vaccine code specifically for the following communities to obtain appointments. Some of those who misused the code later said they did not realize it was not allowed; He just got a code sent to him by a friend. State and local officials later said the vaccine code system was being created to operate by individuals rather than group codes.
But even line-jumpers don’t need code.
Pharmacies like CVS vaccinate people through the online eligibility form based on their statements, which people can fill in any way of their choice. All you have to do is click on the certification that “I meet my county’s eligibility requirements.” When such a person shows up for an appointment, the only verification they need is a driving license to prove that they are the same as the confirmation, the driving license. There is no verification of eligibility.
There is also what can be called a “backdoor” route to vaccination.
State officials, desperate to increase the vaccine rollout, are confusing the temptation of vaccination against potential volunteers.
“Right now, volunteers who complete a four-hour or more shift at the vaccination site are considered eligible for community health workers and vaccinations,” said California Chief Service Officer Fisher Josh Freud.
That’s right, for four hours of work, any adult in the state can get vaccinated.
