Impact Spotlight: Project Fair Shot

Project Fair Shot provides Cloudflare's new Waiting Room service for free for any government, municipality, hospital, pharmacy, or other organization responsible for distributing COVID-19 vaccines. It is open to eligible organizations around the world and will remain free until at least July 1, 2021 or longer if there is still more demand for appointments for the vaccine than there is supply.

Bottom line is Cloudflare saved lives today. Our county will forever be grateful for your participation in getting the vaccine to those that need it most in an elegant, efficient and ethical manner.
