Podcast 320: Covid vaccine websites are frustrating. This developer built a better one.
Olivia Adams is a Massachusetts based full stack developer and engineering manager at electronic health record company Athenahealth. After seeing older family members struggle with complex and unreliable vaccine sites, she decided to build one herself. It has exploded in popularity and may serve as a model for other regions.
Episode Notes
It was a pandemic, Olivia was on maternity leave after giving birth, and she also had a toddler to take care of. Somehow she still managed to build a website, macovidvaccines.com, that provided far better service than what was available through government and private industry. Now she’s trying to figure out how to hand it over to the community so anyone can build a site for their area.

Hey, great Podcast.
I’ve built a website to bring awareness to people in Brazil around COVID 19 vaccines. Addressing some of the presidential claims that vaccines could turn people into alligators

Check it out. The website also tries to help alligators suffering from the latest fires in Pantanal – Brazil.
Can you please share with other web devs a github repository of your code so we can do it in our own states?
