Dottie,
Please PM me. Trying to develop Publix sign guide up hints to help others. I'd like to add location and time selection hints. Don't want to add to the speculation mess before checking with others. Thanks

Just for the record, can we please use this thread to discuss Publix vaccination topics? Less confusing! Thanks

Publix system flawed
 

My wife and I went in yesterday morning to try and make an appointment. We were both on our phones at 5:55 AM. Nothing. At about 6:20 AM, I made the mistake of going to another website ( not Publix), thinking the Publix site would stay in my background. But I lost the site, had to go back in and get in line.... again..... thought I made a big mistake.....but.....after a minute, it told me I could book an appointment!!!!! My wife waited for 60 minutes, never getting a chance to even try and book an appointment. Oh yes, all of the appointments were taken when I tried about 6 different locations.

Dreadful system..... order in line means NOTHING!!!!

Any tips would be appreciated.

This is a very inefficient system for the "user(s)". Governor DeSantis should be required to get up at 5:30am and sit in front of a computer screen for 2 hours and watch the screen "refresh" every time Publix has a scheduling window. If he had to waste his time, like we are having to waste our time, perhaps he would insist on a more efficient process.

When the site go's active at 6AM there will be a 60 second count down indicator (in red) towards the top of the page. That indicator will refresh every 60 seconds. Don't worried about the rest of the page/pages while that counter is active. If you are chosen that counter will disappear. At that point scroll down the page until you see a box that says make appointment. Click on that box. Once you are asked to pick a county and store, do not choose the first store or time in the county you want, you and a few dozen others may have clicked on the same store and time. You are then in a race to see who finishes the information first. (human nature is to pick the first store and time you see). Go into the county a few stores down and an hour or so in, you will be less likely to get bounced out too choose another store.
I have made four appointments in the last three sessions. Good luck.

If you are willing to drive and want to increase your chances of success you might try Publix in the panhandle.

The panhandle counties have already vaccinated 30% to almost 50% of their residents over age 65. Since there are a smaller percentage of locals needing their first shot those appointments probably are available longer on the app.

In Sumter, Lake County, Marion, and all those counties to the west we are at 20% or less of seniors already having their first shot. With close to 80% competing for appointments it is going tough.

South of us only Orange and Palm Beach counties are at 30%, and I’m not sure Publix is doing the vaccines there.

Can we please go to this thread? Same topic now split in two. Thanks!!!
