Covid vaccine signup

I am eligible for the current rollout of vaccine. I tried today to get logged on to schedule a vaccination appointment at a site near me. I couldn’t get the scheduling screen to work right.

When I finally got through to the GNR (Gwinnett-Newton-Rockdale) site it shows all appointments filled.
Anyone else try today?

I tried. Our area has one phone # for 13 counties the the north central health district . I counted over 300 attempts to get through today with no luck. Constant busy signal.

The group I mentioned has an online site so you can click and choose your appointment day/time. By the time I got it to work all appointments they had vaccine for were taken.

My area is also booked for all of Jan/Feb

It’s my understanding that a surplus of sorts of vaccine was created by health care workers that chose not to take the vaccine. From what we saw today apparently is boomers ain’t afraid of it.

My PCP compared avoiding the vaccine to competing for the darwin award.
This boomer ain’t afraid of it & am on a waiting list at small local pharmacy.

Both of my daughters have been able to take it. Neither had any problems and both have a history of allergies. I am a few months too young to take it during this round, but I will take it ASAP.

Where did they get their shots?

I went on that website yesterday and it had available time slots . I selected a time and it took a while but it asked for my info, hit next to finalize but the little ball kept spinning like it was processing but never confirmed. So I don't know for sure if I am scheduled or not, I guess I will show up and see.

This is what I get when I click on the “get first shot” tab

I called all day yesterday, and finally today after 116 redials I got through. I will take mine on the 19 in Sparta.

The ones in my area don’t want you to call. It’s online registration only from what I can tell.
