#VaccineSpotter Thanks to the developer community, Vaccine Spotter is now available in Spanish! 💫 There may still be a few gaps, but most of it should be translated. I've also made some other tweaks to hopefully make the site easier to navigate and use. vaccinespotter.org

#VaccineSpotter More locations! 💖 Publix pharmacies are now being scanned in FL, GA, SC, and VA. Publix locations in AL, NC, and TN should also start being scanned tomorrow when scheduling opens up in those states. Hope that helps! vaccinespotter.org

@turbovax I should point out that VaccineSpotter started after a co-worker shared an article about TurboVax and wanted to know if anything could be done here in Colorado. So lots of love for TurboVax for being an inspiration! ❤️ I'm just happy to share data and thanks for sharing it wider!

Also happy to announce that TurboVax now shows availability for ~200 independent NYC-area pharmacies. All credit goes to @nickblah at vaccinespotter.org who is doing this kind of work at an unprecedented scale

@nickblah Thank you so much for developing Vaccine Spotter- it's helping a lot of people. Wanted to give you a heads-up that Costco's website is working in most of Texas now. Austinites need to know :)

#VaccineSpotter 👋 Costco locations are now being scanned nationwide! I've also been making some underlying improvements so that any detected appointments will show up on the website even more quickly. Hope these changes help! vaccinespotter.org

#VaccineSpotter: New pharmacies! 😃 Health Mart locations (which includes 4,900+ independent pharmacies) and Price Chopper/Market 32 locations are all now being scanned for open appointments. This adds a lot of new stores across the country. Yipee! vaccinespotter.org

@SneakerHatHead Sorry for the trouble! I think I figure out what was going on: If you manually typed in vaccinespotter.org/co/ (with a lower-case "co" instead of upper-case "CO"), this issue could happen. I believe this issue should be fixed now, but thanks for letting me know!

#VaccineSpotter I've added support for scanning PrepMod locations in Colorado (these are various locations that use the state's scheduling system). It's a big day today for everyone here in Colorado with eligibility widening, so I hope this helps! 🤞 vaccinespotter.org

#VaccineSpotter 2,000+ Kroger locations across the US (and its brands like Harris Teeter, etc.) are now being scanned! 💫 Kroger has been finicky to scan previously, so hopefully it will stay functional and I can then improve it further. vaccinespotter.org

#VaccineSpotter Squashin' bugs! 🐛 I fixed Thrifty White scanning being broken due to changes on their website. I've also improved scanning of Walgreens, Rite Aid and Walmart to deal with various weird corner cases. Thanks to everyone for reporting issues! vaccinespotter.org

Vaccine Spotter: Albertsons and all of its brands (Safeway, etc.) are back! 🎉 They currently only appear to update appointment availability every 30-60 minutes, but I still hope this can help. vaccinespotter.org

@RebootJeff No rate limits. It's just static files that get updated every minute. So hitting it once a minute is probably the most that makes sense, but feel free to go nuts. Thanks for checking!

@nickblah - is there a rate limit for the Very Beta Vaccine Spotter API? If not, is there an unenforced limit that you'd like me to obey for my pet project? I'm thinking of adding your API as a source for #cowgoesmoo-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/RebootJeff/cow…

@jessamyn @ivanstegic By default, it only shows the locations where appointments have been found. So I think this was an issue of no open appointments being found in the state at the locations being scanned (for VT, this is currently CVS and Walgreens). But let me know if you have any other questions.

@FaxCelestis Very sorry for this issue and for how long it's taken to fix, but I'm hoping this should be fixed now. The map now uses different shapes to really distinguish things (as well as slightly different shades which may help a bit). Thanks for letting me know! vaccinespotter.org

Vaccine Spotter: Rite Aid locations are only bookable by educators/childcare workers until tomorrow (Sat Mar 13). I've tried to clarify this on the tool, but sorry I'm late in doing this and for any confusion this has caused this week! vaccinespotter.org

Vaccine Spotter: New features! 🌟 Filter by vaccine type (Moderna, Pfizer, J&J), appointment type (eg, if you only need a 2nd dose), and pharmacy. I know these have been frequently requested features, so I hope these help you in your vaccine quest! vaccinespotter.org

Vaccine Spotter: Once again Walgreens has started blocking access, but I'm hoping the latest workarounds should restore Walgreens appointment availability (again). Pardon the interruptions! vaccinespotter.org
