For me, driving out to the Boardwalk was annoying (because I don’t like the Boardwalk) but not actually even rising to the level of inconvenient. For another, getting way out there could be a significant inconvenience. Bus service isn’t too bad (although not great, honestly; I think the actual clinic might be pretty far from the bus stop) but depending on how busy a person is with kids and a low-paying, long-hours job, even that might not be particularly easy to fit into the schedule.
My friend in Seattle says that vaccines where he is have been extremely accessible ("easier than voting") with driving-you-to-the-vaccine service etc. We certainly do not have that in Ontario and I hope that comes.
Many states are spending a lot of money to make vaccination easier and to provide incentives, to get the vaccinations done. Washington State is one of the better ones and they are still a little bit ahead of Ontario (54.5% vs about 52%) but the accessibility actions have still not got them anywhere close to herd immunity.
