Wait, what’s TurboVax?
If you haven’t already heard of TurboVax…where have you been hiding?
But really…say hello to appointments from city & state government-run vaccine sites in the NYC area. Follow @turbovax on Twitter to be instantly notified when appointments open up!
Why is it so impactful?
Huge Ma, a 31-year-old software engineer from New York created TurboVax, a bot that finds available COVID-19 vaccine appointments, after discovering how complicated it was to book a shot for his mother.
He created the viral vaccine site for just $50 and helped countless people when NY state and NYC failed!
What has TurboVax inspired?
A bigger, better, more intuative and inclusive NYC-site to come!
New York City Council was inspired by TurboVax and just signed a bill to establish a new official consolidated site for NYC vaccines. It will notify you with an open appointment, instead of you endlessly pressing refresh!
It’s about time NYC takes inspiration from the innovation and resilience of its people! Forget DeBlasio, Cuomo, and flashy but ineffective politics…
True New Yorkers know to stop talking, start acting, and get things done.
