If so, why isn't this statewide website prioritizing and scheduling the vaccine appointments at Publix? Why does the statewide site require you to select only one county? Very confusing.
Perhaps, like most things. People are in a panic. Criminals see it as an opportunity.
My wife registered both of us. If, it is not valid, they got your e-mail, your cell your age etc etc etc etc. I'm not saying it is fake but......... I recently contacted a posting for US XXXXX and it said free. Tired, or????? before they start they ask for your credit card information. I figured to cover postage. No post showed what they were charging.
They showed a video, which was of no value as I already had it. They charged me $100+. I called, it was a boiler room. They offered to refund half. I refused.
Took a bit of effort but I contacted my credit card and as I had printed all of it.
They handled it for me and I got all of my money back.

Point do not panic. Be wary of who or what you are sending your information to.

Getting on the list. Hum, perhaps they should keep track of how many times we have gotten up at 5:30 to sit at our computer from 6-7 to discover they have allocated the vaccine to others. Fair? What is fair? Far too many people want a shot and there are far too few shots available. I with a valid pre-existing condition have not been able to get a first shot. Reasonable? Imagine you finally get an appointment, drive ????? 50-100 miles and get there to be told OOPS WE ARE OUT OF VACCINE.
