Four CS undergraduate students were featured in multiple news stories for developing VaccinatePa.org. The website aims to make finding a COVID-19 vaccine appointment easier by collecting information from users about vaccine availability and allowing users to easily find the most up to date availability information by county. Limited vaccine supply has made finding an appointment to get the vaccine a source of frustration for many Pennsylvanians.
Please visit VaccinatePa.org to view current vaccine availability in PA or help in this effort by contributing information by emailing the team at vaccinatepa2021@gmail.com.
