Vaccine signup website

Anyone figure out a way to get an appointment on the state website? I kept refreshing the page and it periodically shows a lot of appointment times open (started with 700+ openings for that time/location); when I click an open time I end up with an error msg or a msg saying that time is no longer available, then when refreshed it reverts to none again... clearly they have a problem hosting the number of folks who want it.

They are affiliated with the United Way, at least up here they are.

They have a data base of people to call for the Covid vaccine.

Got my appointment today.

.... distributed to the states for school personnel. That is a Biden top priority to inoculate teachers, subs, cafeteria, library, janitors, grounds maintenance for schools to get them up and running.

by going straight to CVS, Walgreens, Frys Food / Kroger, Albertsons/Safeway websites and repeatedly checking them often throughout the day.

I did get 2 people who are over 70 on county websites, it everyone else over 55 got them in the private sector.
