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