Despite technical issues with the registration 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 there will be a “significant number” of additional appointments that will be scheduled in the next three weeks.
“When the site is up and running and a tweet will be posted,” the agency said. “Thanks for your patience.”
The registration website, which was activated on Wednesday, is experiencing cuts due to overwhelming demand, health officials said.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the department said they are working to “fix these issues as quickly as possible to serve the community.”
“We are sorry that the registration system did not work as we wanted and this will be resolved soon. We recognize that our senior community is eager to receive the vaccine, ”said Dr. Paula Thaqi, director of the Florida Department of Health in Broward.
