I got an appt today. Just some comments that I hope helps.

I was waiting for over an hour with my phone and computer. Both were logged in to the system. My phone got the first hit to make an appointment. My computer never got a hit. Just luck I'm sure.

The screen pops up with a message that I can book an appt. At that time I'm allowed to select a county. You can't select a county while you are in the queue.

I picked Marion and it gave me several stores to pick from. Ocala stores were the closest. I selected one and available times popped up. I selected one.

There were multiple questions that I had to answer about my health and emergency contacts.

Then there was some box to click into agreeing to some kind of policy and then a box stating "that I am not a robot".

Here's where it gets funky. When I did all that I got a message that the time slot I picked was taken. It asked me to schedule another time.

I did that and there was a list of available stores. I picked another one and the process started again. Select time and answer the questions again. I have autofil on my phone so that helped.

I got another message that the time slot was taken. This happened 5-6 times. The last time I just selected the first store in the list so I could save a few seconds.

It worked. The store is in DeLand, but no big deal to me. You get a confirmation # and an email confirming. Also, the second shot was confirmed at the same location.

So hang in there once you get in and keep trying. It was really easy. But I got nervous when I keep getting the message the time was booked. Keep trying.

Hope this helps.

What web site did you use?

On the phone did you use website or phone number?

Thanx.

Seems a shame that when you pick a store, they do not give you a list of times available.
Would save a lot of time faffing about.
Glad you got there in the end.

They do list times available.

But they are not!
Maybe they should list time that are not taken instead.

You must be on the website. You cannot make an appointment by calling a phone number.

I'm guessing he meant he was logged into the same site on his computer AND on his phone BOTH using web browsers and not by dialing a phone number on his phone.

I signed on at 6am this morning and was able to make an appointment for both me and my SO for Wednesday in Daytona Beach. It is really important that you don’t refresh the page once you are in queue. Also you may have to select a location or time several times. I found that I would select an available time/location, and by the time I got through the questions, the time was gone. I was in queue for a hour and twenty minutes so be prepared to wait.

Not worth all the trouble

Totally agree. I plan to wait until more vaccines are available especially J & J.

It's unfortunate the system can't 'save' the time slot you choose until you finished the transaction. Just like buying a concert ticket, it should have the ability to save the slot for you for x-amount of time with the timer shown to you as you fill out the form.

Whether you refresh the page or wait for it to auto refresh every minute makes no difference
