How to schedule a vaccine in NYC or cry trying. A thread:
I've been trying to make appts for my parents (both 65+) & the lack of a centralized website is beyond frustrating. Here's list of some of the websites I've had to accessed this week, in no particular order:
I've been trying to make appts for my parents (both 65+) & the lack of a centralized website is beyond frustrating. Here's list of some of the websites I've had to accessed this week, in no particular order:
https://vaccinepod.nyc.gov/home VACCINEPOD via NYC Health Dept, this site is egregiously designed. Need username/password to log in (WHY?), the scheduling calendar is STUPID: choose location then have to click on each & every date. Just tell me 'next available date' like Zocdoc!
BTW https://vaccinepod.nyc.gov/home is all booked up right now. Lot of clicking dates (all booked) & "Previous" to choose a new location (don't click back button or you'll have to enter personal details again!). Clicking dates ad infinitum all the way to June 1 for each location. Dumb.
https://www.nychealthandhospitals.org/covid-19-vaccines/ NYC Health + Hospitals have a site. Click thru questions, enter bday and name, get a window with next available appts. I managed to get appts on this site AT 3AM last nite. But currently: "Sorry. Your request could not be carried out because of an error"
https://www.mountsinai.org/about/covid19/vaccine-information/schedule Mount Sinai HAD appts until yesterday when NYS released to 1b. Now they are not taking appts for non-employees. Worth bookmarking, they use a "Next Available Date" system like Zocdoc with all locations shown so no clicking back and forth.
https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/ NYC Vaccine Finder. I guess this is hub-ish. Takes you to NYC H+H site, pharmacies, urgent care facilities. Looks like they added the Javits today cuz that wasn't there last night. FLESH THIS SITE OUT PEOPLE!
Speaking of the Javits Center, it's run by NYS and not NYC so I needed to go to ANOTHER SITE to check availability: …https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/ Another page of filling out info to see dates (there is NONE right now). (NYC Vaccine Finder does link to this now.)
NYS site also lists small pharmacies (no online booking, you have to call), CityMDs (no vaccines for general public yet), StatCare & Rendrcare (which links you BACK to the NYC vaccine finder), GoHealth (whose website drop-down is missing the drop-down so can't access), etc.
So, all the websites visited 3am last nite in order to make appts for my 65+ parents. For once I'm grateful for insomnia but THIS IS RIDICULOUS: https://www.mountsinai.org/about/covid19/vaccine-information/schedule
