Twitter Bot Shows When El Paso Vaccine Appointments Are Available

Vaccines are rolling out faster than ever and if you haven't received yours yet, there's a Twitter bot that's here to help. @ELPVax is a Twitter account that is here to let us all know when and where vaccines are rolling out.

El Paso is currently vaccinating anyone over 16 years of age, but they do warn that they might rely on age as a priority if the supply is low. This doesn't mean you can't sign up. Fill out the paperwork, go through the links, do what you need to do. They will adjust accordingly based on priority.
