Rural Residents Across the State Are Restricted From Viewing/Scheduling Vaccine Appointments
[Stock photo]
Humboldt County Public Health investigated the situation. “We have heard anecdotally about some delays involving My Turn [the statewide vaccination appointment site] reaching back out to people who tried to get an appointment before vaccine was widely available,” Heather Muller, the public information officer for the Humboldt County Joint Information Center told us. “We set up test appointments to see if this was true, and in fact we did see delays, although these started to clear on Friday after we brought the issue to My Turn’s attention.”
In addition, they discovered that the vaccine appointment site was “geofencing some zip codes,” she explained. This restricted rural residents who lived more than 40 miles from a vaccine clinic site from seeing available appointments and consequently kept them from getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
This meant that the number of rural residents apparently wanting the vaccine was being artificially reduced. In particular, Humboldt County realized that SoHum residents were affected. But, as they wrote in a press release, “This limitation has affected many, if not all, rural California counties, and local Public Health officials are addressing it directly with the state.”
Our local Public Health has created a workaround for local rural residents. They wrote in the press release,
Until the state resolves the issue, when prompted to “Enter your address or zip code,” county residents should enter only “Humboldt County” on the “Let’s Find an Appointment” page of the My Turn website, the third page of the appointment scheduler. This means residents will input “Humboldt County” in two different places.
Anyone with questions can call the state’s COVID-19 Hotline at 1-833-422-4255 or call the Humboldt County Joint Information Center at 707-441-5000.
There are alternatives to My Turn, as well. Walk-in vaccination hours are scheduled for 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday at the Arcata Community Center, which is located at 321 Dr. Martin Luther King, Pkwy. Also, the federal government supports scheduling vaccinations at local pharmacies through https://vaccinefinder.org/.
In addition, Humboldt County is working on bringing vaccines to rural areas. “[O]ur Vaccine Task Force is working with our SoHum Public Health Nurse to take a mobile vaccine resource to hard-to-reach areas such as Honeydew, Alder Point, Phillipsville and Bridgeville,” Muller told us. “Expect to hear more about that.”
She also pointed out, “[T]here are alternatives to My Turn as well. Phelps and Redwoods Rural are still vaccinating, and there is a vaccine-finding tool from the federal government that supports scheduling for participating pharmacies. You can check that out at https://vaccinefinder.org/.”
Muller urged residents to “not wait for someone to contact you.” She pointed out, “While we continue to administer thousands of doses each week, many counties including Humboldt do currently have more vaccine supply than demand.”
Or, at least they have more vaccine than people have successfully managed to make appointments to get. Remember, as Public Health said in a press release yesterday, “Though My Turn is designed to provide notifications of upcoming openings, the best way to find an available appointment is to check the website regularly.” And look for other options.

If they’re doing this in all rural areas then that is a lot of “extra” vaccines in limbo.
I don’t want the shit, but how convenient that the shot go to SF……
Sorry, the rural areas are not signing up for your GMO/gene therapy cocktail because they know better. I bet the Hayfork fairgrounds will be a ghost town.
Tell me again about getting the covid after getting the shot …
Gain of Function – look it up! Our government decided they didn’t like it, so the coronavirus studies were moved to China. Cv19 sounds like they gained the function of respiratory issues once contracted.
Trust the Science! Vaccines take over five years to develop safely – if you take this shot (which even the FDA is not calling a vaccine) then you are a willing guinea pig.
I’ll tell you they’re putting a very loved family member of mine into the ground today because of your “fake”Covid. Rural residents aren’t getting the vaccination because they think they’re “special”, that they’re some sort of rebels against the “gov’ment” as that’s way more important than any logic. Of course that and the words spewing from a reality tv star’s mouth, ya know the one who already got himself vaccinated. It’s too bad some will die needlessly because of the “intelligence” (did somebody just say lack there of?) of these rural rebels but the positive is we could use a LOT less of that type mentality in general so maybe it’s really a win/win situation in the end.
Hey! Hey! Both of you! Didn’t you read the article!? I’m in Honeydew, got vaccinated, but it was hard. I don’t feel “special” , and I don’t agree with the nonsense government conspiracy shit. READ THE FUCKIN ARTICLE! That is how a government works! It barely does. If they can’t let rural people book an appointment, how are they lead some complicated world take over by vaccine!?
it’s all a ruse. they’re just feigning incompetence so it’s easier for us to believe that they aren’t hiding microchips in the vaccines that will turn us into gay communists. wake up, sheeple!
You got chipped when you bought the phone you post your blather with.
I think it was sarcasm.
What a lie! I did not say covid was fake – I believe they gained the function of regular coronavirus and mutated it. By the by, the man on TV that you take as God is making a LOT of money from this and is not a practicing physician, but is one of the highest paid members of the DC establishment. Number 45 is complicit in this and is only playing the part of the clown, both sides need a fall guy and he loved all the coverage you gave him – no such thing as bad publicity.
Was your family member given a choice of therapy? Because when actual doctors tried cheap and effective cures – that worked, lots of evidence has been removed from the internet (WHY? And why aren’t you asking why?) – they were squelched by the 24 Hour Hate Machine (we’ve moved on from Orwell’s short Two Minutes to unending hate and fear being broadcast at us continuously …)
***Without choice there is no freedom***
The constitution grants you freedom – not safety.
If any of you really wanted America to be great going forward, you would have voted for Tulsi, not the racist stooge (a lot of videos to prove it) we have in the Oval giving our jobs (lots of votes he made prove it) and country away to Xi and company …
But, by all means, please don’t let me stop you from placating your fears with an unproven “cure-all” (that doesn’t really cure anything) and which killed all animals in previous tests and hasn’t even been through a rigorous review process.
Trust the Science!
And oh ya, I have the same medical degree as B&M Gates. The computer virus guru – lolololololololololo
And don’t forget, the United States is not a country – we’ve been sold out for 150 years, we are the Corporation if the United States since 1871.
Go watch your pretty little hate machine.
I’m seeing a padded cell in your future
If you’re going to rejoice when there is a stumble in vaccinations when most people want them, then it is your hate that is on display and you should expect a pile on that fumble.
Thanks GT!
Where did you get your information that the vaccine has killed all test animals?
The voices said so.
One example:
“According to Dr. Lee Merritt,
What happened is all animals died… but they didn’t died of the “vaccine”. What they died from what used to be called “immune enhancement” and now they call it “antibody dependent enhancement” (ADE).”
Can’t, with certainty, verify. I’ve read similar statements. Fwiw.
Ferrets, i believe.
Everyone who has “died of Covid” died of something else. They had underlying conditions, very poor health, were elderly, etc. No healthy human would die of this simple strain of the flu. The real president is in his seventies, had it and was fine. People in their eighties and nineties have shrugged it off (if in good health). This is a total fraud on the public and unconstitutional violation of our God-given rights as free people. Big Pharma and Big Tech and the Medical Industrial Complex all profit off mass fear. Every website shilling the experimental gene therapy that is in no way, shape or form a “vaccine” is guilty of not only fake news but fraud and negligence. As we have seen from the jury nullification, O.J.-style verdict just in from BLMeapolis, this is all about destroying the traditions of America and its patriots. This has nothing to do with health but everything to do with control. The people in charge, including the local low IQ politicians, are traitors to a man and woman. Traitors all.
Everyone whos died from being shot died of bleeding out not of being shot. People with AIDS died of something else, not AIDS. You conspiracy nuts peddle false analogies and think you’re smart. The irony is thick and sad.
Are you referring to American traditions such as cops acting as judge, jury, and executioner in your confused rant?
Three million dead, and still you refuse to read/understand some basic science.
Half of those did not have to die, but so many with paranoid whack-job beliefs made it soooo much harder. Someday I hope you will understand how you are the one ‘being lied to’.
I wont ask or beg you to get vaccinated, because lets face it, Hannity tells you not to, so you wont.
But at least try to grow a smidgen of compassion? Please?
They’ve admitted over amping testing, for one.
People dying in car wrecks being among your 3MM count … Two.
People at 98 that would have died from pneumonia having their death attributed to CV19 and we’re supposed to feel that is for some reason far worse than if they did get pneumonia.
What happened to pneumonia this year? Oh right – covid cured it!
Are year over year deaths any different from the last half dozen?
~20 MM people died in 1918 in this amount of time.
Go back to your pretty little hate machine.
I don’t watch Fox or CNN, I do actually research with my time.
Gain this, I like your posts. Thank you for posting. I don’t know what to make of all this. But you write beautifully, better than the other commenters, and make a compelling argument. Anybody’s whose posts are called “dangerous” when they are really pretty innocuous, just their opinion, might be on to something.
Wow! Incredible! Surprising!
Couldn’t have imagined it possible!
Another new-name-professional-Covid-deniar-PCR-tests-are-flawed-died-with-not-from-Cov2-and-vaccines-are-bad commentor!
You’ll fit right in, but I bet you already knew that.
A little fresh shave, new clothes and name and boom!
Abracadabra shazam, the same message continues….
Is your spidey sense tingling?
There’s a reason to make up a new name with every comment. Or one person use several names to agree with each other. I admit, the reason is juvenile, so juvenile that it’s hard to believe people do it, but, indeed they do. It’s a silly game that serious trolls play. Because although they will claim that anyone that calls them on it is taking things too seriously, they in fact take thing so seriously that they feel compelled to play this game. It’s also gaslighting, a troll’s first line of “defense”. It’s so clear in these threads, and clear who always jumps in to say it isn’t true. Whoever is doing this actually doesn’t care that people know, they are deeply committed to “the game”.

More accurately :
“I tend to deal in evidence based rationales (I believe in) and I don’t subscribe to theories of any sort (unless I believe in them)”
“I have contempt for misinformation (which is any information I don’t believe in).”
Right on ULLR. it’s not science unless they “believe” in it.
Nothing is proven unless they say it is, or they’ve read some third rate conspiracy they “believe” in.
Trolling and nefarious multiple name usage have been documented here at RHBB.
It is not a theory.
Ocd…
Yes, the Spanish Flu epidemic was worse, although this one’s not done yet. The first couple of waves of that flu was not bad either. But covid’s a nasty illness which can have nasty long term effects, so if getting a vaccine with a far less chance of nasty side effects than the virus itself is available, it is a good choice.
There is nothing long term about any of this yet. How are so many of you ignorant of what the term “long term” means? You can’t even figure that out and yet we are supposed to believe that any of you have any sort of compelling argument or know anything of substance regarding “the science of COVID-19” but you don’t know what long term is. Long term, by standard medical definition long term side effects long term care etc., generally means 5 years, by financial standards, I.e. long-term bonds or cd’s, it’s 10 years.
Total shite Charles. Apologies, but….
Fortunately for you, we’ll get to see, first-hand, what lies you have bought into.
The world will never be the same.
To quote V:
“I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to……” (fill in)
People like you are why the human race is doomed.
I know, research is a killer.
Listening to made up science and to false conspiracies is the real killer.
Let’s just listen to the wacko, tin- foil hat, conspiracy pushing nuts. They are so much more “intelligent” than any real scientist or doctor.
Guest, you sound an awful lot like an msm mouthpiece.
You’ve really been duped. Or doped…..
Do you have a rebuttal for anything that has been linked to?
Take Event 201 for example. Just a “conspiracy theory”? A coincidence?
How about Agenda 2030? That too?
Didn’t think so….
Eventually you will be right- when most people have been vaccinated and clinics are no longer needed. By that time only the most fearful will be left to wonder why people are not dying in droves of the supposed vaccine side effects they firmly believed existed although they never actually understood what they were.
Then we can deal with aLL the co morbidities starting in youth.?
Pretty much, Gain this.
I’m tempted to show up at the Fairgrounds to count participants.
Sorry for your loss Anna but we don’t want them because we have a good idea as to what they are and what their purpose is.
It does require critical thinking (again):
Vaccines, created by eugenicists, made by convicted criminals, pushed by totalitarian-sliding governments, paid for by you and I (to the tune of 100’s of billions) and likely our great-grandkids, to SAVE LIVES.
Does that make ANY sense?
Either you don’t believe parts of the above or you refuse to acknowledge it.
Which is it?
your willful ignorance is offensive and dangerous. be ashamed.
Thank you, chopsolutely. You are so right on.
Yes, you are right chops. VERY dangerous. But to who?
Ashamed of?
(I’m not)
“Either you don’t believe parts of the above or you refuse to acknowledge it.
Which is it?”
Can you answer my question?
Have any good information to add? Or just an msm shill?
Exactly. You can’t answer my question because you listen/watch/believe msm, and in believing the total bs story, you are offended by others who ask good, pertinent questions.
Either you don’t want to know or you are somehow blinded. The future is a plan (by the 1%) and that plan is available via websites for all to see. They aren’t even hiding it anymore.
Being eugenicists, they even joke about “reducing the population” via vaccines, etc.
For the sake of rainbows and unicorns, I really hope I AM wrong.
When you get lung cancer you will GLADLY do whatever the local scientist tells you to do, even if it is experimental. Just wait and see. Good luck with that cough.
Lung cancer is 100% fatal if left untreated. Covid-19 is 99.9% survivable if left untreated. Your argument holds no water.
That your post is even allowed on this site scares me. Creepy. Kim, you allow to many people to express horrible thoughts. LOCO has more dignity then you do.
LoCO doesn’t allow people to express anything but approval of the vaccinations? I don’t generally read their comment section but I would be disappointed to learn that they don’t allow people to disagree with mainstream thought.
I agree. LOCO is as one sided as it comes. deffinition of fake news over there.
Would you call that headline reverse psychology?
“In addition, they discovered that the vaccine appointment site was “geofencing some zip codes,” she explained. This restricted rural residents who lived more than 40 miles from a vaccine clinic site from seeing available appointments and consequently kept them from getting the COVID-19 vaccine.”
I don’t believe this to be true. I signed up and Blocksburg is 25 miles from Garberville. There must be some other problem.
but 25 miles is less than 40 miles? if the problem is people living 40+ miles from the vax site, how would you at only 25 miles from the site be affected? one of us is misunderstanding something…
It sounds like the people in the city get their turn first, pretty simple. The more condensed population gets turn first.
I like the woman behind bars in the picture scared for her life. What a ridiculous, rural, white woman.
I’m my experience, rural clinics up here have been way ahead of the curve in making vaccines available. Everyone that wanted a vaccine in Orleans or Gualala got them over a month ago.
She’s NOT behind Bars just a fence!!!
Cool handle. 🤙
“CapRadio has heard from listeners who say they can’t find appointments in their area after searching the site. The state says it revamped My Turn to make it easier to use in anticipation of a rush of sign-ups on April 15, including a function that allows counties to limit signups to certain zip codes. Twenty-one counties are still “onboarding” to My Turn and haven’t entered all their appointments yet, according to the state health department.”

This is a Sacramento radio station. Apparently other places are having trouble too.
How convenient you can get your shot in Arcata from 6-7 pm and then drive home which for a lot of these people would be over an hour or more and I don’t know about now but I tried to schedule a shot for my husband and myself and there was none available. I heard that a lot of young people were getting shots long before elderly people. When we did get out shots there were also a lot of young people there.
Garberville has had several shot clinics and has more planned. Call Southern Humboldt Clinic for appt.
I got my vaccinations in G’ville…no waiting, easy-peasy.
Because it is not strictly age that’s a criteria. Work in essential businesses like health care or food service is treated similarly to age.
Vaccinations were available at CVS and Walgreens in eureka according to the website.
Go to the websites for Walgreens or CVS and schedule your appointment through them directly. I got an appointment for my daughter at Walgreens in Fortuna last week and there were lots of appointments available. I got my 2nd shot last Saturday and the injection site is a little sore but I had no other side effects.
My specific issue is allergies. I WANT the shot. This is unprecedented because I refuse Pharma consistently on the grounds that they have lots of additional “ingredients” which make it easier to measure doses and preserve the poisons.
I won’t drive after the shot. End of discussion. If I can’t drive back to my rural home, I can’t get the shot in this region.
IF there is a Mobile Unit, can I claim a dose of the J&J (fewer ingredients and only one exposure to them) to come to my doorstep? Will they hang out with me for an hour to make sure I don’t have a major reaction?
Likely, this won’t be a viable option, but I’d be up for it.
Nobody: You haven’t heard J&J got suspended indefinitely due to blood clots in some people? You can only get Pfizer or Moderna now..
6 out of how many million? birth control is vastly more dangerous than the J&J vaccine.
J&J will be back. I’ve been following this closely. It was just to double check, make sure the clotting isn’t a major issue. They pulled the Pfizer vaccine for a while to double check the reactions. It’s back on the market.
I’m really more concerned about the preservatives the vaccines contain. J&J has polysorbate 80 in it (and most of the rest of the ingredients are also preservatives) and that one makes me hallucinate, which is why I refuse to drive for a day or so after I get the shot. ONE shot because a second shot could trigger an auto immune response if it turns out I’m allergic to any of the unpronounceable ingredients listed with Moderna and Pfizer.
Really, I’m only looking at this because I need to travel.
Looks like J&J manufacturing is highly suspect.
“Fifteen million doses of the Johnson & Johnson Wuhan coronavirus vaccine were ruined as a result of the wrong ingredient being added during production. The incident occurred in a factory in west Baltimore which federal authorities flagged for multiple violations. ”
https://vaccineinjurynews.com/2021-04-19-jnj-vaccine-shipments-halted-ingredient-mixup-facility.html
That’s what happens with relying on anti vaxxers sites. A month late and a dollar short.
This was news 3 weeks ago when J&J caught the error before it was even bottled much less distributed. Or for that matter before that factory was even approved by FDA for manufacture. Good to have quality checks…
“In a statement to Nexstar, Johnson & Johnson said they have been performing “test runs and quality checks” at the plant, which they said is still awaiting authorization to “manufacture drug substance for our COVID-19 vaccine.” The company said the spoiled batch “was never advanced to the filling and finishing stages of our manufacturing process.””
https://www.wtnh.com/top-news/15-million-jj-vaccine-doses-lost-due-to-factory-error-report-says/
sorry Guest, I forgot 3 weeks is forever in “new normal” time.
So this facility that was “still awaiting authorization to manufacture drug substance for our COVID-19 vaccine” was mixing enough product to ruin 15 million doses?
I would say that the cover story of performing “test runs and quality checks” at the plant is a bit suspect. Sounds like they were full blown manufacturing………
……..”The company said the spoiled batch “was never advanced to the filling and finishing stages of our manufacturing process.”
This is merely an end run, around our collective immune systems response and adaptive abilities.
They want to remove our innate ability to adapt, naturally.
Controlled mutationa.
Problem, reaction, solution.
Yea 3 weeks is now long term haha

If you were military or knew people who were during the Gulf War (2), you might recall a certain antrax “vaccine”, mandatory for all millitary personel.
“The Pentagon’s mandatory anthrax shots caused adverse reactions in most recipients and helped prompt many Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard members to transfer to other units or leave the military between 1998 and 2000, according to a survey by Congress’s General Accounting Office (GAO).”

Another totally trustworthy Big Pharma corp.
A little history:
https://www.honeycolony.com/article/no-surprise-emergent-biosolutions-to-profit-from-the-novel-virus-pandemic-part-1/
Our vaccine seems to follow the flow of our precious water. Handed freely to the South while desperately needed here.
I know that’s somewhat of an exaggeration but I often feel that way too. All the regulation burden but none of the profit.
I got my first injection about 3 weeks ago form Open Door Clinics in Ferndale!!! I live in Swain’s Flat part of the “Greater Bridgeville Area”!!! I didn’t even feel the injection let alone ANY Side Effects!!!! Not only that but I already have an appointment for the second one at the same place!!!
So they geofenced rural areas and then used the data to write news stories about how rural people are not signing up to get the shot.
Kinda makes you wonder if some wasn’t sold on the black market..
Crap! The appointment day for my second dose at So Hum Health was cancelled because of a probable shortage of vaccines. SMH at this mismanagement of supply screwing with us rural folks.
Hopefully they will prioritize 2nd doses within the proper timeframe.
We don’t need a fake vaccine to control the masses…. they’re already being lead around by their stupidity.
People at Wal Mart in Ukiah were just walking up to the pharmacy window and getting their jab. No wait no line. A woman asked if the jabs were J&J. No they replied.
I was just passing by.
