Can someone tell me if Vaxstandby is a scam or is it legit? They claim vaccination locations sometimes have unused, extra doses of COVID vaccine they must either use or throw out, therefore, they give providers like pharmacies or clinics with leftover doses a way to reach nearby people looking to get vaccinated at a moment's notice. Leave a comment below if you have any information.

It is hard to tell if the website is a scam or if it is legit. There is not much information available. An article featuring the website from a reputable news source would have been good.
