Probably best to keep this thread focused on the mechanics of COVID vaccine rollout, to better understand this kabuki. Politics behind all this is a way, way, way different (and onerous) subject.
I only have an advanced degree in weak force nuclear physics, so I have to keep the rollout in simple terms to cope with it
Teresa, you seem best informed on this whole exercise, especially when the phone and internet links are having issues. (Tried calling the Defuniak phone number this AM and got continuing blocks and recordings.) My frustration:
1. Read about the "call in" for appointments last Friday. Tried calling in a bunch of times yesterday (which probably made me part of the culprits in the phone problem). The DOH had said the phone call-in was "the right way to go".
2. Decided to go to the DOH annex is SoWal yesterday late AM, to try to get an appointment in person. Found out their system was down, but they took my name/phone as "the right way to go" to end up on the list (and yes, they advised there were still vaccine doses available).
3. Heard later yesterday, I needed an Appointment Schedule Form as "the right way to go".....but there was only a broken link to the form.......(and quite honestly, yesterday afternoon was the first I had heard of such a form.....)
In the vacuum of "real" info forthcoming from the DOH (perhaps it needs to be renamed "DUH") do you have any idea what the next "right way to go" might be.
No need to respond directly..... Just looking for way to release some of my frustrations. After all this rollout ain't "rocket science"..... or (at least) should NOT be.....
