He qualifies in California for a shot, but it hasn't been easy.

The appointments are so hard to get.

I've been trying for over three weeks and I just got one ST Jude, But it's gonna be until the end of the month.

For Espinosa, that's too long.

Toe wait.

So last week he went to a clinic in Santa Fe Springs, California, and waited in line with other so called vaccine chasers, those hoping to get lucky with the leftover shot.

At the end of the day, when people cancel their appointments or don't show up, I'm here in hopes that there's any that might be left over.

48 year old Cynthia Perez was one of the first to arrive that day at the Santa Fe Springs clinic.

I have, ah compromised condition, but yet I don't I'm not 65 yet, and, um, and then I also have a kid at home who has asthma.

So I'm tryingto kind of maybe get ahead of the curb a bit and try and, um, stay healthy myself.

Chasers have been criticized for getting the vaccine when it's not their turn.

But Perez says that's not her intention.

So I'm not trying to jump the line per se.

I'm just trying to take advantage of any vaccines or any doses that might be thrown away.

Thank you, Will Baker agrees.

He is assisting with vaccinations at the Santa Fe Springs clinic and stresses the importance of not wasting any precious doses and welcomes people toe weight.

And on this day there was one extra dose, but we had one shot left over.

I went over the guidelines and I looked for anyone in the line.

That was, uh, one A.

And we did have one person in the line that, uh, met the one A criteria.

And we were able to get him, Ah, vaccine today And that lucky vaccine chaser was Espinosa.

Fortunately, it was the last dose they gave out.

It was the last, and I was the lucky one.

Well, a gray shadow elsewhere, too.

Baker went outside to break the bad news to the rest of the group.

I'm sorry there is no other.

There's no more vaccine for today.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you.

Sorry, about that.

Sorry about that, Everyone.

Perez picked up her bag and headed home, disappointed but not deterred.

You can't be upset.

It zits never guaranteed.

So you know, we'll see.
