We put is all ones for the SS spaces and clicked no on the insurance question.

We did get a screen stating our information was accepted and approved with the date and time of confirmation.
The same page stated we would be called when the next available appointments were applied.

We also received a confirming email with the same information.

Has anybody used this site and actually got an appointment?

With such low numbers of dose availability I suspect the wait will be longer than we think!!

So now we wait.....
This is certainly a much better site than the one the county was using before. I went through two of those 8 am attempts to request a vaccination and twice was turned down in 16 minutes. This one made it easy to apply, and they will let me know when my time comes (so to speak).

What I am wondering, of course, is why something like this wasn’t developed and in place nationwide ready for use whenever a vaccine was ready. If it can be done now, it could have been done six months ago and sent out to every state and county, ready to turn on. How hard was it to anticipate that this would be necessary?
