I called all day yesterday, and finally today after 116 redials I got through. I will take mine on the 19 in Sparta.
Just under 300 redials on the phone yesterday before I got thru. I'm scheduled for the 19th in Sparta also.

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?
Same thing for me on Monday.
I was offered it before Christmas and didn't take it, Have changed my mind and will if I can get scheduled.

Local pharmacy says they will rollout vaccine to eligible patients in a couple weeks.
May be easier than these mass sites.

If your still working like me and don't have time to sit in front of the computer all day to try to schedule I believe it's a lost cause right now.

Been my experience as well and I work in front of a computer. Several chains are supposed to start by end of month. I’m hoping that additional capacity helps.

If you want to move way up the list, get the vaccine from your family doctor.

All the sites in my area are booked through May 1 - or so they say.
Possible they're lazy and put up "booked" instead of "don't know when its coming in".

Ingles pharmacy has started doing it and publix is not far behind.

Unfortunately we have grown accustomed to instant gratification with the speed of the internet. Remember when a busy signal on the phone was a common occurrence??? The shear numbers of vaccinating even 50% of the US population is a daunting task. It is going to take time.
