Jackson opened COVID-19 vaccine appointment slots on Monday. They were gone in 16 minutes
Jackson Health System’s COVID-19 vaccine website was open for appointments at 8:58 a.m. Monday, three minutes after Jackson alerted the public via Twitter.
And, 16 minutes later, the website said the slots were filled.
For the many Miami-area residents 65 and over seeking vaccine appointments, perhaps the only solace in this daily frustration can be Jackson’s consistency.
Via its social media It’s been tweeting daily between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. a 15-minute warning that it will start accepting appointments. Sometimes, as was the case Sunday, Jackson does so between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. also.
But slots tend to fill up quickly and the system hasn’t been without its technological difficulties.
