I see that there are walgreens in my area, but when I do it by zip I am getting

"We couldn't find any Walgreens/Duane Reade immunization locations in your area."

I'm assuming that means the vaccine isn't happening there? I only ask because I'm making a script to hit your website every hour and shoot me a text if something becomes available. But nothing will ever be available because it's not a vaccine site, correct?

In don’t know your zip but I’m deeply concerned that my neighborhood which is predominantly more vulnerable has no sites available.
Just to add, I've tried like 90026 and a couple other zips that have walgeens, but I'm getting the same result as above.
replied in the comment above. thanks for the note
It's all state-by-state, store-by-store. It's possible that those walgreens are not administering vaccines yet, or the state hasn't rolled out a program with walgreens.

Also, the app was built and launched in the last few days, so if you can confirm that those walgreens are indeed offering vaccines, and show up when going through the registration process on the website, please let me know and I'll look into it.
