Despite technical issues with the registry website, more than 4,000 people have scheduled appointments to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Broward County, the health department said.
The department added that a “significant number” of additional appointments will be available in the next three weeks.
“When the site is active, a tweet is posted,” the agency said. “Thanks for your patience.”
The registration website, which was activated Wednesday, is experiencing outages due to overwhelming demand, health officials said.
In a statement released Wednesday, the department said they are working to “resolve these issues as quickly as possible in order to serve the community.”
“We are sorry that the registration system did not work as we intended and this will be fixed shortly. We recognize that our senior community is keen to receive the vaccine, ”said Dr. Paula Thaqi, director of the Florida Department of Health in Broward.
