Impact Spotlight: Project Fair Shot
Project Fair Shot provides our 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, 2022, or longer if there is still more demand for appointments for the vaccine than there is supply.
In 2022, Project Fair Shot received a Webby Award in the category of People's Voice Winner.
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.
