The good news is this is not another government website, but one curated by Comcast NBCUniversal. See their announcement.
Basically their effort is summed up in this statement: “The COVID-19 vaccine rollout is an incredibly complicated challenge, but it’s a critical step to getting our country back to normal,” said Adam Miller, chief administration officer, Comcast Corporation, and executive vice president, NBCUniversal. “We have the unique ability to leverage our considerable platforms and resources across Comcast NBCUniversal to raise awareness and help people navigate the ever-changing array of information on this issue.”
As a person who has been trying to navigate the "vaccine hunt," it can be very frustrating — and I'm not totally helpless when it comes to working with computers and websites.
My journey to getting my first Moderna vaccine went like this:
- Register on the state website
- Start filling out applications for appointments at the time specified to submit an application
- Fill out the forms, including having to re-enter data in the same application session, like birthday, address, etc. Fill out the forms and get the message that all appointments have been filled
- My wife, Mary, has been the chief "investigator" and following all leads
Atypical, but I bet one of the many ways people are navigating the system "such as it is." My wife is finally registered for a mass vaccination site and scheduled for Feb. 20 at 5:15p.m.
