Despite technical problems with the registration site, more than 4,000 people have scheduled appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Broward County, the health department said.
The department added that a “significant number” of additional consultations will be available to be scheduled within the next three weeks.
“When the site is up and running, a tweet will be posted,” said the agency. “Thanks for your patience.”
The registration site, which was activated on Wednesday, is experiencing disruptions due to high demand, health officials said.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the department said it was working to “fix these problems as soon as possible to serve the community”.
“We are sorry that the registration system did not work as we intended and that will be resolved soon. We recognize that our senior community is looking forward to receiving the vaccine, ”said Dr. Paula Thaqi, director of the Florida Department of Health in Broward.
