However, there are concerns with such systems. Residents who are accustomed to booking tickets for shows via online platforms may find it easier to keep a vaccination time closed than those who are not. Within a day of the Brevard County Eventbrite system getting off the ground, residents picked up all the appointments for the first vaccine shipment.
Residents who do not have access to the internet may find it difficult to claim a vaccination slot, which may put vulnerable individuals at risk, while reports have surfaced about fake Eventbrite accounts asking for appointments. It is also possible that a gray market for vaccines will bubble up if clashes can occur faster than people can make appointments, but there is still no evidence that this is happening, according to StateScoop.
Although health authorities had months to prepare for distribution, officials said The edge that choosing an online ticketing system was the easiest way to quickly set up vaccination programs. One in Brevard County said the approach has worked well so far and that residents in general have found the approach easy. The health department plans to keep Eventbrite for the next shipment, and he hopes its hotline will be operational again by that time.
