Episode Details

It started on a snow day. Dr. Christine Meyer pays her staff even when the office is closed, so she was trying to find something for them to do, and she figured -- why not just help people find vaccines. So she posted on Facebook for people to email her office if they needed help finding a vaccine. She got 1200 emails in 2 hours and the email server crashed. Fast forward a bit, and the PA CoVID Vaccine Match Maker Facebook group has more than 55 thousand members and has helped thousands of people get vaccines. Dr. Christine Meyer joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about the story behind the Facebook group and what's gone right (and wrong) with getting vaccines into arms.

Need more help than that? Dr. Meyer says people can email her (christine@christinemeyermd.com) or call her office in Exton (610-363-0100) to be paired up with a "finder," a volunteer on her Facebook page who can help people locate appointments.
