This post introduces 'Project Fair Shot', a free offering of Cloudflare's new 'Waiting Room' service to government and medical organizations responsible for COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

This demonstrates an extension of Cloudflare's traffic management capabilities to critical public services during times of high demand.
