Despite technical problems with the registration site, more than 4,000 people made 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 that will be scheduled in the next three weeks.
“If the site is up and running, a tweet will be posted,” the agency said. “Thank you for your patience.”
The registration website, which was activated on Wednesday, is experiencing disruptions due to the overwhelming demand, health officials said.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the department said it was working to resolve these issues as soon as possible to serve the community.
‘We are sorry that the registration system is not working as we intended, and it will be resolved soon. We realize that our Senior Community is eager to receive the vaccine, ”said dr. Paula Thaqi, director of the Florida Department of Health in Broward, said.
