There have long been people waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but some residents of the province have been trying to be vaccinated.
Land leaders say their registration app was overwhelming. According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, about 10,000 people registered overnight to schedule an appointment.

Some who had trouble planning an appointment even received a message that they could no longer register. The province says it is working to resolve the bugs, and more registration slots will open when the country receives more vaccinations.
Residents can find more information about getting an appointment on Othena’s website and download the app in the App Store.
The province is asking those without an appointment not to come to the Super POD website as it will overwhelm the system and make the distribution of vaccines more difficult. Health leaders warn that appointments are needed to go well.
Disneyland is the first of five Super POD sites in Orange County with the ability to vaccinate thousands of people every day. The other sites will be announced as their agreements are finalized.
Official health officials on Tuesday opened access to vaccinations for residents 65 and older, and the state is now following in the province’s footsteps.
To date, Orange County has received more than 170,000 vaccines, according to OCHA Director, Dr. Clayton Chau. To receive more vaccines, Chau said it is critical for the country to prove to the state Super PODS, as the Disneyland website is successful, and that people want the vaccine.
