If you're in CA and happen to have a car, just plan a road trip to one of the "red" counties in the middle of the state. Sad stereotype but true. We're in the Bay area and got ours at a nearly empty "mass-vaccination" facility in the central valley.

I was able to get myself and my family signed up through UCI Health. But I got a friend, and his girlfriend, who drove up to the central valley (he's originally from the Fresno area) to get theirs. Another friend, who lives on my street in south OC, drove out to Redlands to get his. Another friend and his wife who live down here got their first shot this weekend up in Livermore, where her family is. They'll make another trip up north to get the 2nd.

It's all pretty dumb and arbitrary to me, the way this thing is being handled. In each case they were unable to get theirs locally, everything was booked with no insight into when the next availability would be.
