Just did it. Thanks for posting.

When I fill out the information and hit the tab Get in Line it just stays there. Is it suppose to take you somewhere else?

You may have missed entering information in one of the blocks (like FLORIDA RESIDENT, for example, you have to select that in that box). Look for a box that has a red rectangle around it.

Here is a link to actual site where you can register.

MyVaccine

The site has been accepting registrations for at least 24 hours, and you must select a county (why?) but there is no explanation about how this information will be used to prioritize appointments. They say you will be notified when appointments become available at state-sponsored vaccination sites, but I thought all vaccination sites were state-sponsored? Very confusing.

Thank you for the information; Just signed us up :pray:

Thank you so much!!😁

We also signed up. I do wonder, how many people are listed on multiple lists.
How many people will after getting their shot will, or even can cancel all the lists they are on.

People, I keep thinking about the movie Titanic. The band played on. Women and children first, in this case pre-existing conditions first. On the Titanic SOME men said
I am more important. I do have a legitimate pre-existing condition. None of the lists even ask. I am not aware of a single person wondering should I in good health allow someone else to get a shot. Not sure if I would either. It is far easier to justify what someone, other than me, should do.

Please explain. What does state-sponsored mean? I thought the vaccine was being distributed to the states from the Federal Government, not directly to the counties. Does the state have separate vaccination locations that are different from the county vaccination locations? Is Publix a state-sponsored program? 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.
