Tips from a COVID-19 vaccine hunter: She has bagged 200-plus appointments

Jen Clements, a Shippensburg University professor who has helped more than 200 people get a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, offers some tips for those searching for shots. The tips are based on her experience and information from sources including the PA COVID Vaccine Matchmaker Facebook group. (Note: Some of the following information is crowdsourced and subject to change.)

First off, be sure you or the person you’re helping is eligible for vaccine during the current stage. You can find out here:

Clements recommends using a computer to seek online appointments. While it’s possible with a smartphone, it’s harder to navigate the webpages.
She has found these vaccine providers tend to list doses at these times:

Rite Aid — midnight on Tuesday through Saturday
Weis Markets— between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Wegmans — 11 a.m. on Tuesdays
She has found that there seems to be no pattern for Giant Food Stores and Sam’s Club

Good luck to those searching. Am starting to hear folks (who are eligible) in my circles getting their vaccines.
