 I was only able to receive my first vaccine because I was given a phone number not widely publicized you’re in Marin County. I made attempts to use the my turn website. Aspects of the website were not accessible. I attempted to book my appointment through the my an 800 number. Because I had been on the website I was very aware that that all of the questions were being read accurately. Happy to help.
