I just spent 3 hours trying to get an appointment on the Publix vaccine website for my 90 year old mother to no avail because I was not able to get one for her. There has to be an easier way to do this.
Publix has a “ coming soon” status for Covid vaccines. Last time I waited online and the status instantly changes from “coming soon” to “fully booked”
The system of online booking does not work and what are the elderly, who cannot go on the Internet supposed to do?
When are they going to supply and distribute enough vaccine quantities and vaccination stations?
This is unacceptable.
The governor says 20% of those over 65 years old have received the vaccine. I call bologna. Most folks around here don’t even know how to register or get an appointment for the vaccination. Something needs to change to make this process easier … not necessarily faster, but EASIER. Clear directions would be a blessing.
both have underlying conditions at sge 80 & 73
I am 71 years old and I am working. I do not have any pre-existing conditions but I am exposed to the public on a daily basis.
It seems like years since I submitted my application but still no one contacts me. I waited on the Publix site for 2 1/2 hours this morning but there was never an opening. My SO can’t get it at the VA, either. I know it’s because there isn’t enough vaccine available, and that will change soon, but it’s still frustrating!
Still waiting
I submitted an online appointment request form to the Esc County Health Dept. the minute I saw it on the local news . That was at least 3 weeks ago and I haven’t had a phone call from the health department yet. I suppose that is because the vaccine is still in short supply . I hope others who are more vulnerable and susceptible to Covid can receive it. Once the vaccine is more widely available to all ages , I hope the confirmed cases will subside and people can start living again.
I have attempted numerous times to receive Covid Vaccine with NO success. I am 79 years old.
I have filled out a couple forms on line within the past month and haven’t heard from anyone. Seems rather confusing. I’ll be 70 in a few months so Im assuming I should probably get the shot.
Dinah Bengtson…. Century will have it available this week…appointments are made by calling a number. There’s an article on Northescambia Facebook page. Also, Publix is offering online appointments as I write this.
My mother is 80 years old and needs this vaccine.
